Sir,
I passed the spring the other day at which Mr Carson found the plant in which you are interested & I put in a paper some of the seed [stem] in various stages one of which I hope may give you the information you lack in connection with it if it is not so & if you let me know about the stage of development you require I will endeavour to get it for you.
I am
Yours truly
David Brown
