DCP-LETT-387

From:
Robert FitzRoy
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
16 Nov 1837
Source of text:
DAR 164: 133
Summary:

CD’s response [missing] comes from the heart. RF explains that CD’s preface [to Journal and remarks, vol. 3 of Narrative] offended him in not acknowledging the part RF and the other officers had in helping CD. Beagle voyage was the first on which officers could have kept any specimens they collected, but they gave preference to CD.
