From J. D. Hooker 22 July 1874
Summary
Stupefied by CD’s trouble and kindness. All he wanted for Belfast meeting was assurance that mention of published work on Drosera, etc., in Nature, etc., would not interfere with CD’s book.
Would like his Nepenthes results to go to CD or to Royal Society, but prefers CD take them.
Cephalotus very puzzling.
Peas and cabbage grow twice as fast after two days’ immersion in Nepenthes as when placed in distilled water, but four days’ immersion seems to kill them.
Has a splendid Australian Drosera twice as big as D. rotundifolia.
