Dear Mr Romanes
I have received from Berlin a German Journal with several accounts of graft-hybrids produced not by cutting two buds in two & joining them but by inserting part of a potato tuber with a bud into a tuber of another kind, the results are clear, and the auther compares them with the results of sexual generation.2 If you wish to see these papers I will lend them; otherwise do not trouble to write
Yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin
