Hooker has told her of CD’s work on insectivorous plants. Offers plants, but her Dionaea plants are too small now.

Offers Utricularia montana and gives instructions for growing Drosera.

Wishes to visit CD at Down when she comes to London.

Has sent the Utricularia with the bladders that CD described.

In Variation CD does not mention a rare breed of Siamese cat, which she owns.

Asks for another photograph.

CD should remove packing moss, and he will find bladders in foot-stalks of Utricularia DN sent.

Experimenting on insectivorous plants.

Implores CD to visit.

Thanks for photograph.

Will send a different Utricularia species when the seedlings are better established.

Would like to know the results of CD’s Utricularia experiments.

A Brazilian love-bird, escaped from captivity, has been found in a robin’s nest, apparently starved to death along with three young robins.

Understands from Lady Hawkshaw that CD generally visits London [in February]. Requests meeting with CD.

Hooker has told her CD is in London. She requests a meeting.

Thanks CD for his book [Insectivorous plants].

Would like to visit again before August.

Thanks CD again for his book [Insectivorous plants];

would like an autograph to put in it.

Would be delighted if ever she could visit Down again.

Regrets having missed seeing CD when he was in London.
