To T. H. Farrer   17 November 1879

My dear Farrer.

I have just received enclosed Report on Potatoes from M^r Torbitt for current year.¹

I hope that you will consider whether it is desirable that he should be aided—² I could get additional copies of his Report if wanted—

Ever yours truly. | Ch. Darwin.

I have been very sorry to hear that you have been suffering.
