To S. H. Vines 4 February 1882
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | (Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.)
Feb 4th 1882
My dear Mr. Vines
In two or three days I shall put together my notes about the action of C. of Ammonia on roots, & tell you this as it would vex me much not to use any information which you might be willing to communicate to me.1 But the probability is great that your multifarious work has prevented you from making any observations, & in this case do not let me add to the trouble which I have already caused you by answering this note. I will understand silence to mean that you have nothing to communicate.
Believe me | Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
