To J. D. Hooker 2 June [1855]
Down.
June 2d
My dear Hooker
I hope this note may arrive in time to save you looking for Watson’s (?) paper on plants of Azores,1 & from troubling you to write to me.—
I have had a sudden revulsion of feeling since I wrote to you, & cannot endure the thoughts of trying all the Azorean seeds which I could procure.2 I have had a very bad week with my stomach which perhaps is partly the cause, as I am disgusted with myself & all the world. Forgive the senseless manner I may have caused you trouble.
Ever yours | C. Darwin
