DCP-LETT-9613

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
Date:
30 Aug [1874]
Source of text:
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (JDH/6/3 Insectivorous plants 1873–8: 40)
Summary:

Thanks JDH for his "quite admirable" address [Rep. BAAS 44 (1874) pt 2: 102–16]. Suggests revisions.

CD thinks he is "now on right track about Utricularia" after wasting several weeks "in fruitless trials and observations".

Mrs Barber’s paper is very curious and ought to be published.
