Will arrive at Orpington by usual train.
Experiments with Mimosa.
Thanks CD for a copy of Expression. Is always interested in CD’s work, but finds himself diverging from some of his leading ideas.
P.S. Has found shedding of toenails in a nephew as well.
He has added carbolic acid to the seed germination experiments and sends more results on the effect of formic acid. Formic acid inhibits mildew on dough but not on seeds.
Mildew never grows in ants’ nests.
Sends an account, from the Mishnah, of grain stored by ants.
