To Daniel Oliver   1 April [1861]1

Down Bromley Kent

Ap. 1.

My dear Sir

I never dreamed that primroses did not abound with you & am sorry to have given you extra trouble.—2 I send by this Post, some flowers which I do not doubt will arrive safely & in fresh state.— Thanks for information about Oxalis.—

Please keep memorandum what I owe you for Cypripedium; & I can repay you when I know what the Dionæas cost, if any can be got—3

Yours most truly | C. Darwin
