Monsieur John Murray

Monsieur

Veuillez prendre connaissance de la lettre ci-incluse, adressée à M. Darwin, et dans le cas où vous auriez la propriété littéraire de son ouvrage, me répondre au sujet de la demande que je fais. Dans le cas contraire, veuillez lui transmettre ma demande, à laquelle je ne doute pas qu’il ne fasse bon accueil.2

Agréez, Monsieur, mes bien respectueuses salutations | L Grenier
