Sep 27.
My dear Sir.
I return with many thanks the Bot: Zeitung which I had not seen.2 I am also obliged for your second note on the little points in Drosera, which I had seen & experimented on.—3 I see you refer to them in the last No. of Gard. Chronicle4
It was foolish of Mr Murray to discuss digestion without knowing anything of the facts & conclusions from months of work on my part.5
With many thanks— | My dear Sir. | Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin.
