My dear Dyer
One line to thank you for the flowers received this morning. George has made a drawing of Monochætum & I have dissected all the flowers, & my notes have become intelligible to me.—2 So many thanks
Ever yours | Charles Darwin
P.S. | On receiving Oliver’s memorandum I write at once to Thompson for seeds of Celsia Cretica & he has none!3 could you send me any seed of any rather large-flowered sp. of Celsia for fertilising.4

Summary
