To Edward Frankland 22 April [1874]1
2, Bryanston Street, | Portman Square. W.
Ap. 22
Dear Professor Frankland
I want very much to speak to you for a few minutes about drosera. May I call tomorrow (Thursday) or Friday or any day, and the earlier in the morning the better for me.2 Perhaps at or directly after your breakfast. A few minutes would be sufficient. Will you send me a post card in answer—
yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
As I am rather often apt to be unwell I cannot avoid sometimes breaking engagements.
