To John Price 28 July [1874]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. [Abinger Hall, Surrey.]
July 28th
My dear Price.
I have just received your note, & you will have received mine on U. minor.2 Will you be so kind as to keep alive for a month in pond water some plants, or, send some to Down, but in this latter case, please mark in plain writing outside “to be placed immediately in water in greenhouse”.— Before I left home I gave instructions to my gardener.—3 I certainly shd be very glad to look with high power at some points of structure.
No plant that ever I attacked, has puzzled & bothered & interested me more than U. vulgaris.4
With many thanks, | Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
