July 1st
My dear William
I have just heard, by the enclosed, about Utricularia.—2 Could you visit Winchester for me pretty soon & take a tin box or cannister & send me some plants with floating leaves (& some submerged leaves) pretty soon.—3
I want them much.
In Haste— Mama has been swearing at me for doing too much. | Yours affec | C. Darwin
If they have roots send them.—
Let me know by card before hand, that I may have all prepared for them.4
