My dear Sir

I have received the MS. safely, I am glad that some of the notes will be of use — I am sorry that I have not been able to look at our diagrams [2] for fertilis[atio]n ^{but I will do so}[.] Both K[illeg.]'s Waud Tafelu & Dodel-Port's diagrams have coloured representat[io]ns of [illeg.] going[?] [illeg.] flowers — A hawk moth at a marhagon lily, a bee at a salvia, and ^{a bee} at some open flower (Pyrus?). I do not use them in my lectures as I think diagrams drawn [3] with thick black lines much better — but the coloured ones wold be most effective as magic lantern[?] slides —

Yours v[er]y faithfully | Francis Darwin [signature]¹
