From Isaac Anderson-Henry   24 May 1867

Hay Lodge, Trinity, | Edinburgh.

May 24/67

My dear Sir

I have just a minute before starting for a run to the Country to say in reply that I have found the Xd pods of Arabis blepharophylla larger in proportion to its normal ones or those of its male parent A. Soyerii than I stated—1 Particulars tomorrow

I have sent off Maillet. Please keep him as from me2

Ever yours very faithfully | Is Anderson Henry

1
Anderson-Henry had crossed Arabis blepharophylla with A. soyeri, and obtained two pods ‘about twice the size of the normal pods’ (letter from Isaac Anderson-Henry, 20 May 1867). CD had asked him to confirm that the pods were larger than those of A. soyeri (letter to Isaac Anderson-Henry, 22 May [1867]).

Anderson-Henry refers to Maillet 1750 (see letter to Isaac Anderson-Henry, 22 May [1867] and n. 4).
