Sending the further codicil to CD’s will.
Thinks RM may like to see the enclosed [Fritz Müller letter].
Thanks FM for letter of 22 Feb [not found] on Lepidoptera. Will send it to Entomological Society to be read. FM’s earlier letters produced best discussions of the season.
Thanks for seeds of Viola.
He and Francis [Darwin] are at work on biology of seedling plants and wish to observe how the flowers penetrate the earth.
The Pontederia did not germinate, probably pressed too much [in post].
Pleased that WN wishes to dedicate his book [Oregon: there and back (1878)] to him.
WN’s move from Down irreparable loss to the village.
