Description: Charles Darwin, "Down" to John Burdon-Sanderson. Darwin asks for help in obtaining pure animal substances - fibrin, albumin, mucin and others for future tests of the digestive powers of the plants.

Transcript: gone (though my experiments are not completed), neither casein nor gluten (from wheatflour) affects drosera. As meat of all kinds, dead insects of all kinds, and white of egg all act most energetically, I am very anxious to know what pure animal compounds will act – it seems even possible !!! that this subject might throw a little light on animal digestion, for I see old Muller suspects that something more than gastric juice is required to digest certain animal substances. Yours very sincerely Ch. Darwin
