Dear Mr Darwin

I felt confident I had your father's two lost notes on the subject of my white grapes turning purple which he & Hooker were much interested in. I have found them; but cannot yet find the one a year before, written when he first heard about it from me and in which he said it was an interesting case of what he had referred to in a certain page of his book on plants, which I found explained the cause; but his last notes shows he was still puzzled about it. I hope I may find some more notes for I am going over all old letter & papers […]

With very kind regards

Believe me

very sincerely yours

BJ Sulivan
