My dear Father

I am very sorry to hear about Wiesner   I read that experiment about transmission of heliotropism just before I went away, I’m afraid it is horribly conclusive;² I didnt say anything about it to you as I thought possibly you might get stuck before you got there. Nature has sent me the book to review; I want to know what you think about it doing it, it might be an opportunity of saying anything we want to say about it; but I am rather inclined to refuse, anyhow I can’t do it for a long time, that is if I write a review signed with my name.³ I might write rather a short notice anonymously without so much care as a signed article would want.

I will see what the untranslateable bit about the seedlings at different distances is.

That sounds an extraordinary case of F. Müller⁴

I suppose you got the Pinguicula⁵

I have sent off a salmon which I killed yesterday & which is in better condition than the first one. I had fished all day and only got a 3 pound grilse & then killed this one just as I was obliged to rush off for the train.
