From M. D. Conway 12 October [1876]1
2 Pembroke Gardens | Kensington.
Oct 12
Dear Sir,
Mrs. Rose M. Crawshay of Cyfarthfa Castle in S. Wales,2 sends us this morning some flowers, and among them one which she suggests might interest you, and which I accordingly send. She writes:— “I should be pleased if Mr. C. had any chance of sending these to Mr Darwin, whose address I do not know, nor am I acquainted with him. But doubtless the evident struggle on the part of the Eucharis Amazonica to become double wd. interest him as another instance of gradual evolution.”3
Faithfully yours | Moncure D Conway
