To J. D. Hooker 13 August 1873
Summary
Asks JDH why so many plants are protected by a thin layer of waxy matter or with fine hairs.
Wrote to John Smith for a plant of Oxalis sensitiva, but it has not acted well.

From J. D. Hooker 14 August 1873
Summary
Has observed CD’s points. Except for leaves of Nelumbium, would have supposed both wax and hairs were connected with absorption or respiratory functions. May subserve some function connected with rays of sun. Watering most prejudicial in the hot sun: a splendid subject for experiments.
Adam is a good man.
