June 3—

My Dear Sir

It seems to me that for some years past the Memory of Dr Erasmus Darwin has been reviving & his reputation encreasing in Public Estimation—and I sh anticipate a favourable reception for Krauses essay especially if you undertake to fill up its gaps & deficiencies—2

I am well disposed as to publishing it for you & will have pleasure in carrying out your wishes & intentions regarding it.3 Thanking you for your note I remain | My Dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | John Murray

Charles Darwin Esq
