July 19
My Dear Sir,
I have succeeded in separating the ferment of the Nepenthe secretion.2
I think the enclosed note may interest you; and if you think it worth publishing will you kindly forward it to “Nature” as Mr. Lockyer has asked me for something on the subject.3
Please don’t trouble to acknowledge it if it is satisfactory.
Yours faithfully, | Lawson Tait
