My dear Sir

This is my address.—   I will write soon— I am grateful for your last note.—

I am dying to hear about pure gum²

[Yours] | C. Darwin.

P.S.³ | Will you be so kind as to dry a little of your Gum used on Drosera & burn it; perhaps you would detect smell of animal matter if any gelatine or glue used or size⁴ used.—

Any corrosive Sublimate??⁵

Could you send me, when you write, one leaf (& name) of Australian Drosera, that I may see it out of idle curiosity.—⁶
