From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Murray
Date:
29 Sept [1870]
Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms. 42152 ff. 212–13)
Summary:

CD did not promise Appleton stereotypes of text [of Descent]; only of cuts.

Wishes to know which passage JM thought "coarse". Remembers only a quotation from John Hunter on courtship of female being required "to give her desires" [Descent 1: 273]. He fancied a quotation rendered the sentence less coarse.
