Dear Sir

Many thanks for all the substances.

Please send me 6 2 oz Bottles with corks. —

I find that Folic Acid produces so remarkable an effect, that I shd very much like to try Hydiolic Acid (2 gr. to 2 oz doubly distilled water) if you can obtain it for me.

Dear Sir

yours faithfully

Ch. Darwin
