Dear Sir
I am greatly obliged to you for your very kind note & sending me the valuable plant. The appearance on arrival was rather piteous, & there are hardly any fibrous roots.2 But every possible care shall be taken of it, for my own sake & that of Kew.
Permit me again to thank you cordially & I remain, dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
