Thanks GB for arranging for his paper ["Two forms of Primula", Collected papers 2: 45–63] and for his photograph.
CD sends thanks for many valuable dried specimens [of orchids]. Has been promised Catasetum and some Dendrobium by Mr Rucker; has written also to Lady Dorothy [Nevill].
Lady Dorothy [Nevill] has written very obligingly and sent a lot of orchids.
Requests more precise details about Oxalis, to which GB referred in his remarks on Primula.
Would prefer to have Primula paper published in the Linnean Society’s Journal rather than Transactions.
Thanks GB for valuable letter [3331].
Will follow his suggestion about violets.
Discusses differences between Thymus and Primula.
