Dear Father

Footnotes
The photographs probably related to CD’s experiments on bean radicles (see n. 2, below). There are photographs of bean radicles in DAR 209.15: 1–4. DAR 209.15: 4 has ‘enlarged to twice the size. LD’ written on the back; the images on DAR 209.15: 3 are a similar size.
CD was beginning to experiment on the movement of the radicles of beans (see letter to W. T. Thiselton-Dyer, 9 May [1878]).
