Apologizes for JH's further troubles with trust fund for CB's sister [Mary Anne Hollier], whose three sons are selling off their inheritances. Solicitor Charles Few will take care of legal issues. Not likely that JH can resign as trustee.
Answers CD’s query on Primula longiflora and P. scotica.
Would like abstract of CD’s paper ["Two forms of Linum", Collected papers 2: 93–105] for Natural History Review.
Regrets he did not make the statement [unspecified] referred to by CD.
