Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
Oct 14th 1874
My dear Prof: Oliver
Many thanks for all the things which you have done for me & for the information given.1 The plants have arrived quite safe & in two days I will set to work & then return them; I will advertise you when they are sent off. I had no intention of asking you to send me so many sp: of Utricularia, but I shall never be able to resist looking at them all. These bladders as you well know are wonderful objects.2
When Hooker returns pray thank him & accept my thanks for all these treasures
Your’s very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
