Dear Sir,

Please be so good as to send me following containing the paper by Dassen—p1062

“Tijdschrift vor Naturlijke Geschiedenes en Physiologie 1837 IV”

Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin

The date is established by the headed notepaper, which is of a sort that CD used from November 1874 onwards, and by the fact that CD sent the manuscript of Movement in plants to the press in May 1880 (Correspondence vol. 28, letter to Alphonse de Candolle, 28 May 1880).
CD referred to Michael Dassen’s paper on leaf movement (Dassen 1837) in Movement in plants, pp. 283 n. and 318 n.
