Thanks for monstrous floral specimen, but it is a common one.
Details of family history. Has discovered Dr Darwin did get to Edinburgh before his son, Charles, died.
The more CD reads of Dr Darwin the higher he rises in his estimation.
Is tired of writing letters, "half the fools throughout Europe write to ask me the stupidest questions".
