Thanks JDH and Thiselton-Dyer for useful information.

After JDH left, CD was very bad, with much loss of memory and severe shocks continually passing through his brain.

DCP-LETT-9057

From:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
16 Sept 1873
Source of text:
DAR 103: 162–5
Summary:

Mimosa too far gone to send now.

CD’s marjoram is the common [Origanum] vulgare, not the pot herb.

On the water injury, Thiselton-Dyer and he may have used too fine a spray, but plant is insensitive.

Horribly angry at P. G. Tait’s letter in Nature [8 (1873): 381–2].

Tyndall writes that he is strong – the next number of Nature will prove it.

G. Henslow is much better.

JDH leaves for Bradford [BAAS meeting] tomorrow.

Rejoices at CD’s success with Drosera; longs to be at Nepenthes.
