From D. F. Nevill 2 July [1875]1
45, Charles Street
How seldom things in this World dove tail in nicely— A wet day and the receipt of your interesting book was, however, all that I could wish2 I have been reading the Drosera’s with the greatest attention and am going thoroughly to digest every part—3 I did so enjoy my afternoon passed with you and Mrs Darwin and if it were not too much to ask—later on—if it were possible I should so like to come down again4 I leave London about the 6th of August
Ys most obliged | D Nevill
