To Francis Darwin   [c. February 1875?]1

My dear F.

I beg ten thousand pardon & more—

my notes on U. amethytina are on the same paper with those on U nelumbifolia, so am safe—2

Your old deluded Father | CD

The date is conjectured from the subject matter. CD was correcting the chapter on Utricularia (bladderwort) for Insectivorous plants in February 1875 (letter to D. F. Nevill, 15 February 1875).
CD’s notes on Utricularia amethystina (Florida purple bladderwort) and U. nelumbifolia are in DAR 59.1: 141, 145–6.
