When in London at Rucker’s wonderful gardens she learned he had sent CD a Mormodes.

Thanks CD for his book [Orchids].

Regrets having missed seeing CD when he was in London.

Hooker has told her CD is in London. She requests a meeting.

Hooker has told her of CD’s work on insectivorous plants. Offers plants, but her Dionaea plants are too small now.

Offers Utricularia montana and gives instructions for growing Drosera.

Wishes to visit CD at Down when she comes to London.

Has sent the Utricularia with the bladders that CD described.

In Variation CD does not mention a rare breed of Siamese cat, which she owns.

Asks for another photograph.

CD should remove packing moss, and he will find bladders in foot-stalks of Utricularia DN sent.

Experimenting on insectivorous plants.

Implores CD to visit.

Thanks for photograph.

Will send a different Utricularia species when the seedlings are better established.

Would like to know the results of CD’s Utricularia experiments.

A Brazilian love-bird, escaped from captivity, has been found in a robin’s nest, apparently starved to death along with three young robins.

Understands from Lady Hawkshaw that CD generally visits London [in February]. Requests meeting with CD.

Sends his autograph

and is delighted DN was interested by part of his book [Insectivorous plants].

Would be pleased to see DN at Down.

Thanks DN for references.

The Apocyanaceae that catch Lepidoptera represent the most gratuitous case of cruelty in nature known to CD, since the captured butterfly is of no use to the plant.

CD is familiar with cases of prepotency that are so strong that a cross has no effect.

Has much pleasure in signing the little book; is glad his book on earthworms interested her.

Writes at Lindley’s suggestion to ask whether DN can send several orchid specimens. Describes his work in preparation for Orchids.
