March 7, 1881

Dear Mr. Darwin

I send from here today to be forwarded to Orpington from London by S.E.R. “How Crops Feed” and vols xiii xiv of the “Versuchsstationen” which are quite at your service for 2 or 3 weeks.1

The parcel is addressed Down, Orpington, by S.E.R. and I hope this is right.

I am, Yours sincerely | J. H. Gilbert

See letter to J. H. Gilbert, 25 February 1881. Gilbert sent a copy of How crops feed (S. W. Johnson [1870]). He also sent copies of the German journal Die landwirtschaftlichen Versuchs-Stationen (Agricultural research stations). CD had wanted to read an article (Detmer 1871) in volume 14 of the journal.
