To J. D. Hooker 31 July [1873]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
July 31st
My dear Hooker
As soon as you return please send me a Post-card, with word “yes” on it.—2
I have 3 common garden plants which it is of great importance for me to know the correct names, & I would send you specimens in tin-box. I think it could not take you many minutes to name them. I have seen various names used, & am quite bothered. I hope your tour has answered.3
Yours affect, | C. Darwin
