My dear H.
Will you tell me for new Edit. of Origin how many plants are proper to New Zealand (excluding of course naturalised plants). I do not care for any great accuracy but do not like to reprint old & false number.—2
We have been just extremely pleased by George being second in Mathematicks at Trinity (which considering size of College is great honour) & getting an 80£ Scholarship, for next five years.—3
Yours affect— | C. Darwin
