To J. D. Hooker 20 August 1874
Summary
It is splendid how Nepenthes is behaving. Drosera and Dionaea are insignificant by comparison.
Takes rather a malicious pleasure in JDH’s failure with Cephalotus as a match to his with Utricularia.

To J. D. Hooker 30 August [1874]
Summary
Thanks JDH for his "quite admirable" address [Rep. BAAS 44 (1874) pt 2: 102–16]. Suggests revisions.
CD thinks he is "now on right track about Utricularia" after wasting several weeks "in fruitless trials and observations".
Mrs Barber’s paper is very curious and ought to be published.
