To W. T. Thiselton-Dyer 21 April [1881]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | (Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.)
Ap. 21.
My dear Dyer
Could you send me a little seed of Trifolium resupinatum. It is most provoking that I remember saving some, which I have placed in some place so safe that I cannot after endless hunting find it.—2
I enclose envelope addressed, & if I do not receive the seed, shall understand that you have not any, so do not trouble yourself by writing.
Ever yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin
P.S. Do not think that I do not value your letters, by my saying “do not write”. On the contrary I have been just rereading several with valuable information & suggestions in relation to the bloom on leaves, as I have been looking over my notes on this subject during the last few days.—3
