My dear Romanes

I have just received “Vegetative Bastarderzeugung durch Impfung” by Lindemuth (an agriculturist & gardener).2 It has 3 Plates. I can lend it you if you shd. ever like to see it, & you had better keep this as a memorandum.

Many thanks for last letter. You say that you have returned some Papers, but these have not been received by me—3

Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
