From J. H. Gilbert 6 January 1876
Harpenden, St. Albans
Jany. 6, 1876
Dear Sir
I thank you very much for the copy of your book on “Insectivorous Plants” which I have received through Mr. Murray.1 At present I have only been able to glance at the Table of Contents, and turn over a few of the leaves, but have seen enough to surprise me at the amount of experimental observation involved, and to assure me that I shall make further acquaintance with the book with the greatest interest.
I am, My Dear Sir, | Your’s sincerely | J. H. Gilbert.
Charles Darwin Esqre &c. &c. &c.
