From C. C. Babington 16 October 1862
Cambridge
16 Oct. 1862
Dear Darwin
I am sorry that the very full occupation of the late meeting totally prevented me from attending to your wishes at the proper time.1
I believe however that now our Curator, Stratton, has sent you some of the seeds that you want and I hope that you will succeed in raising plants from them.2
We have none of the others that you want.
Yours very truly | Charles C. Babington—
