Dear Darwin
Oliver has brought me your letter of 13th. from which he gathers that you wish him to hunt through Oxalis for cleistogamic flowers or trimorphous species, which would be a very long job indeed. & heavier than he is disposed to undertake.1 He will however be most glad to aid Frank in the search if he could come over.2 Pray send him he will find a bed here & a hearty welcome
Ever aff yrs | J D Hooker
