Request for plants.
CD’s continuing ill health.
No summary available.
Alterations to proofs of JH's plate [on sunspots].
Discusses homologies of plant organs.
The passion-flower tendril should be considered a modified branch rather than a modified flower. Considers the distinction between the peduncle and the leaf midrib.
[Charles?] Pritchard has embittered the subject so he must just acknowledge the receipt of JH's letter.
