42 Rutland Gate London
April 14/75
My dear Darwin
George1 told me that you wd. very kindly have some sweet peas planted for me, & save me the produce. I send them in a separate envelope with marked bags to put the produce in, and full instructions which I think your gardener will easily understand. I am most anxious to repair the disaster of last year by which I lost the produce of all my sweet peas at Kew.2
With very many thanks | Yours very faithfully | Francis Galton
