My dear Sir

I was so pleased to receive your most interesting letter and its contents²   I am only too delighted to contribute in any way to your studies   The Gardener has just brought to me 2 Utricularias we have—³ One is our specimen plant just coming into blossom and the other is one smaller than the one sent to you and he fears too small to be of any use to you at present so had we not better keep it for a time till it has developed its useful parts   Dont scruple to take it as we have 8 more seedlings but I daresay in a month or so it will grow enough for your purpose— We have been placing bits of meat on the Drosera Capense and it is curious to observe how its leaves closes over the meat and when quite consumed how they relax to their ordinary state

ever most truly yours | D Nevill
