DCP-LETT-2564F

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Charles Kingsley
Date:
1 Dec [1859]
Source of text:
University of Toronto, Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library (MSS gen 30.058)
Summary:

Is very glad CK wrote the article My Winter Garden (Kingsley 1858), which CD enjoyed.

Thinks CK should read abstracts of Living Cirripedia (1851) and Living Cirripedia (1854), and then, if he is particularly interested, borrow the actual volumes, rather than purchase them.
