Plans for Annie's father (William Mitten) and ARW to tour in Switzerland after her return; expects many rare plants in the mountains, possibility of visiting Pilatus or Stanzenhorn, asks Annie to enquire about hotel rates there, and about a hotel in Lucerne for day of their arrival; regards to Bessie; asks for news of her tour and fellow-travellers; receipt of letter from Miss Jekyll enclosing an enquiry from another correspondent re effect of sea-air on plants at Lyme Regis; mosquitoes at Rhone glacier.

ARW leaves at midday on Friday for Switzerland. CR could come tomorrow (Thursday) evening and stay the night. ARW enquires about sleeping carriages, etc., from Bale [sic] to Brussels; is glad CR found something new in Ireland. Thanks for ?Pinguicula which arrived in excellent condition.

ARW will be pleased to see CR and his sister when they come to Parkstone. ARW & Mr Mitten had a good time on the whole in Switzerland. Mr Mitten brought home plants which have filled over 100 pots. ARW was delighted with the signs of glaciation and has material for another anti-?Bonneyite paper.
