To William Jackson Hooker   [30 July 1858]1

Isle of Wight

Friday.

Dear Sir William Hooker

As I am writing to your son, I must thank you for so very kindly taking the trouble to send me the extract about the seeds cast up on the extreme n. shores of the Pacific.—2

I had never heard of this, & am glad to hear of every case of the transport of seeds per sea.—

With very many thanks for your kindness pray believe me | Yours truly obliged | Ch. Darwin
