To Edward Frankland   11 October 1874

Down, | Beckenham, Kent.

Oct 11th 74

My dear Prof: Frankland

Many thanks for the information about the phosphate & about putrefaction. I feared that there was no such substance known, but had there been such it would have been invaluable to me1

Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin

See letter from Edward Frankland, 9 October 1874. CD had asked about the specific gravity of phosphate of ammonia and about the products of putrefaction for his work on Insectivorous plants.
