3 May/73
My dear Mr Darwin
Many thanks for the name of the German book.1 Now that I shall have another pair of shoulders on which to rest some of my burdens,2 I should much like, if strength & eyesight last, to escape sometimes to flowers— We shall see— At any rate I will get the book—
What a noble letter was that of Huxleys— I should like to have seen yours to him3
Sincerely yours | T H Farrer

Summary
Hopes affairs will enable him to get back to flowers.
Huxley’s letter [about the fund raised for him] was noble. Would like to have seen CD’s to him.
