Dear Sir

I write one line to thank you most sincerely for your kind note & efforts to assist me.³ Corallorhiza would certainly be most valuable to me. I sh^d. especially wish for a few flowers in large bud.—⁴

I shall remain here for another week or 10 days. Immediately that I reach Devonshire, I will send my address.— Unfortunately on account of business I cannot fix my day of departure;⁵ nor my address at sea-side till we get there; but it will be Torquay.—

With very sincere thanks | Pray believe me | Dear Sir | Yours truly obliged | Ch. Darwin

I think my observations on the fertilisation of Orchids are new & interesting.

Whenever I publish I will do myself the pleasure of sending you a copy of my paper.—

P.S   We have just been able to fix to start on July 1^st. but our journey to Torquay on account of my poor daughter will take three days⁶
