Fritz Müller’s daughter has committed suicide.
HM’s son will visit CD when he comes to London.
Is glad CD approves of his judgment of G. Bonnier’s paper on nectaries [Gaston Bonnier, "Les nectaires", Ann. Sci. Nat. (Bot.) 8 (1879): 5–212].
Movement in plants has shown him CD’s research method: 1. Find a fundamental idea of great generality (circumnutation); 2. Pursue it everywhere with observations and experiment; 3. Conduct special observations which undo any doubt of generality.
Fritz Müller suffered moderate damage in Brazilian flood.
Continued praise for the universal importance for botany of Movement in plants.
Enjoyed HM’s castigation of Gaston Bonnier ["Gaston Bonniers angebliche Widerlegung der modernen Blumentheorie", Kosmos 7 (1880): 219–36].
Has heard of flood from which Fritz Müller escaped. Has he lost books, microscope, apparatus? Offers £50 or £100.
