Feb 15. 75
Dear Lady Dorothy Nevill
I am much obliged for your Ladyship’s very kind note; but I am sorry to say that I shall not be in London, till later in the spring.1 I am working so hard at my book on Insectivorous Plants that I cannot at present spare the time. This very morning I was correcting the Chapter on Utricularia & had the pleasure to acknowledge my obligations to you.2 You will probably be in London later in the season, & I then hope to have the honour of seeing you.
I beg leave to remain your Ladyship’s very faithfully, | Charles Darwin
