Regrets he cannot permit his name to be used to support WSK’s aquarium project. If WSK decides to set up an aquarium solely for scientific purposes he would consider subscribing.
Lithospermum longiflorum has cleistogamous flowers and, unlike other species of genus, it is not dimorphic.
Sends autograph as requested.
Is "awfully glad" at LD’s appointment [as an instructor at Chatham].
Thinks LD should start reading chemistry "though reading does not do much".
Reports scientific work of George and Frank Darwin.
