DCP-LETT-1909F

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Edward William Vernon Harcourt
Date:
24 June [1856]
Source of text:
Bodleian Libraries, Oxford (MS. Harcourt dep. adds. 346, fols. 255–7)
Summary:

Thanks EWVH for his offer but he is not likely to go to London soon to visit John Leadbeater, the bird dealer; he could take a rock pigeon for comparison, but other skins he would have compare at the British Museum.

Would be obliged if EWVH could investigate domestic species in Egypt, especially a type of dog depicted in ancient monuments; and he is particularly interested in tumbler pigeons.
