My dear Sir
Aldrovanda is rootless & floats freely & catches abundant prey in various parts of world.—2 If you will wait till my book appears, I think you will find abundant evidence of absorption.—3 Your separation of the ferments, seems a capital discovery.—4 I have not strength to give evidence of absorption.
yours sincerely | Ch Darwin
