My dear Marshall
I send a line to thank you very much for remembering about the plant, which is now planted & I hope will flourish, & it shall then be observed.— Whenever any systematic botanist is here I hope to get name.— Pinguicola is a fine case.2
I am writing this in your new room, which makes a most splendid study & is the comfort of my life.—3
Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
