DCP-LETT-3090

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
George Maw
Date:
17 Mar [1861]
Source of text:
Royal Horticultural Society, Lindley Library (MAW/1/4)

Thanks GM for his excellent criticisms. His observations on the classification of minerals force him to "own that classification may be closely like that due to descent yet have no relation to it".

Asks whether GM has observed any cases of "bud-variations".
