Asks permission to bring Fanny Allen to CB’s party.
Submits the account of Smith, Elder & Co. for the third number of part two and second number of part three of the Zoology.
Asks WW to alter, before printing, the passages in WW’s Presidential Address to the Geological Society [Proc. Geol. Soc. Lond. 3 (1839): 93] which pointedly allude to the delay in publication of CD’s Beagle journal; they might annoy FitzRoy, who, as Captain, has a right to first use of the papers of all officers on board.
Asks to be allowed to bring his sister to CB’s party "that she may see the World".
