Asks whether GG can help CD get specimens of Corallorhiza.
Thanks GG for his efforts. Corallorhiza would be most valuable.
Leaves for Torquay on 1 July.
Regrets he cannot assist the fulfilment of CD’s request for a specimen of the orchid Corallorhiza.
Thanks GG for his great kindness about Corallorhiza. CD will try to get plants from J. H. Balfour.
Apologises for trespassing on GG’s kindness again. Believes there is a new point of structure in Listera cordata and asks GG to send specimens if it is still in flower.
Asks whether one of Balfour’s students could obtain specimens of Corallorhiza from Ravelrig bog outside Edinburgh for CD.
