Summary:
Had thrown Geographical Society’s Proceedings in waste-basket, but as Strachey shows such admirable powers of discrimination he will fish it out and read the whole article.
Comments on 3d ed. of Sachs’s work [Lehrbuch der Botanik (1873)]. Wishes he were more controversial.
Has become wonderfully interested in Drosera and Dionaea.
9000 copies of Expression have been printed and most are sold.
