To Edward Frankland 18 July [1873]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
July 18th
My dear Sir
Many thanks, I will collect some fluid at end of September &, gratefully send it to you very early in October.
I will try some of your suggestions about Pepsin, & it is invaluable advice for me; but it is impossible to remove the viscid matter from the glands except in a diluted state.2
Your most truly obliged | Ch Darwin
