Requests permission to publish CD’s previous letter [10440].
JT may publish CD’s letter.
Believes publishing CD’s letter will enable JT to suppress the potato disease several years sooner.
Returns CD’s answer to JT’s question "What is an individual?", and repeats his request for permission to publish it.
Encourages JT’s experiments. His case of flowering of black potatoes is curious. CD surprised that they are odoriferous and visited by bees. This letter was thought to be to David Moore, because it was in the private collection of a descendant, but is extremely close to a draft to JT on the letter from JT, 30 April 1879 (DCP-LETT-12020). It is not known how it passed from JT to David Moore.
Requests live Utricularia and Drosophyllum at suggestion of W. T. Thiselton-Dyer.
Thanks for Drosophyllum. No longer needs Utricularia.
