From H. T. Stainton   5 September 1859

My dear Sir

[JSH has written ‘a sterophone’]

I shall be very thankful for the larvae from the capsules of Chlora perfoliata, but having started on my pilgrimage to Aberdeen, I should be glad if you would keep them for me till my return on the 24 ^th inst. I have often looked for larvae on the Chlora but never found any.

I was glad to see the programme of your next gathering

Yours very sincerely | H. T. Stainton
