Observations on insectivorous plants.
Asks WCM to design additional rooms for Down House.
Mr Laslett, a builder, will meet WCM on Tuesday.
Sends an enclosure [missing] concerned with a very provoking delay.
Mr Laslett’s estimate is too high. Mr Deards is quicker and better. Discusses building details for house improvement.
Discusses locks and window-fastenings, which CD has discovered are not included in the contract for alterations to the house at Down, and a cornice in a passage-way..
Thanks WCM for plant.
Mentions "your new room" at Down.
Cannot allow WCM to pay extra charge for glass. Rooms all very comfortable.
Asks questions about earthworms.
Asks what proportion of leaves of Pinguicula have insects adhering to them. Also, whether seeds of any plants ever adhere to the leaves, and in what situations does P. vulgaris grow.
Sends CD a box of Pinguicula leaves.
Glad to hear about sticky fluid on leaves. WCM need not bother to count leaves.
Sends Pinguicula vulgaris leaves with seeds on them, together with his observations on proportion of leaves with insects on them.
Thanks for the Pinguicula leaves, from which he has picked off sixteen seeds.
