To M. T. Masters 7 August [1874]1
Bassett | Southampton.
Aug. 7th
My dear Sir
I am glad the Hop interests you. ⟨I⟩ just glanced at the female flowers but saw no stigmas! ⟨The⟩re were numerous almost loose small angular bodies, which I did not look at with a high power, but imagined might be ovules. These wd. be worth your attention.2
I shall be proud to appear in an engraving in the Gardeners’ Chronicle, whenever you may think fit.3
My dear Sir | yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
I have come here for 3 weeks for complete rest.—4
