Summary:
Thanks CD for a second copy of Movement in plants. His letter acknowledging the first must have gone astray. Marvels at the number of interesting observations and is honoured by CD’s mention of his work.
In recent years GH has been applying CD’s principles to the histologico-anatomical structure of plant organs. He will send CD the papers.
