Dear Sir

I shd. be particularly obliged if you would get sent by Post from Germany the following book, as I want it immediately.

“Dr. Frank—Die Natur: wagerechte Richtung von Pflanzentheilen &c” Leipzig 18702

Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin

1
The year range is conjectured from the fact that CD cited Frank 1870 in Movement in plants, which was published in 1880; he began work on the manuscript in July 1877 (CD’s ‘Journal’, Correspondence vol. 25, Appendix II). Williams & Norgate were CD’s regular booksellers.

There is an annotated copy of Albert Bernhard Frank’s Die natürliche wagerechte Richtung von Pflanzentheilen (The natural horizontal direction of the parts of plants; Frank 1870) in the Darwin Library–CUL.
