DCP-LETT-2522

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Stevens Henslow
Date:
11 Nov 1859
Source of text:
DAR 145: 100
Summary:

Sends the Origin to his "dear old master in natural history"; fears he will not approve of his pupil in this case. Asks for criticisms. If JSH is even in slight degree staggered on the immutability of species, CD is convinced that he will be more staggered on further reflection – this has been the process of his own mind.
