Summary:
Thanks JDH and Thiselton-Dyer for useful information.
Is surprised Mimosa albida is not sensitive to water. Asks that they try again, or lend it to him.
Remembers a walk in Brazil in great bed of Mimosa.
After JDH left, CD was very bad, with much loss of memory and severe shocks continually passing through his brain.
