My dear Darwin
I was sorry I was unable to sufficiently collect my thoughts & energies to return your salutations today.
When I left Cambridge you were ""down"" so that I could not talk to you about the Dionoea plant your father kindly sent for me. I left it in the care of Mudd the Botanic Garden Curator & hope to be able to restore it in the spring uninjured. I should think they have Dionoea at Naples. Indeed, they must have. Wishing you as good success in the forthcoming Tripos as Balfour had in his
Believe me | Very fondly | A. G. Dew-Smith
