To J. S. Henslow   [before 12 October 1849]

My dear Henslow

Pray keep Hooker’s letter as long as you like, & send it, if you please, to Sir William.— Just look it over & see whether there is not some expression about his Father being angry, which might not be proper to send.— I remember in former letter his saying that he had not told his Father how ill Falconer had behaved, as it w^d have vexed him.¹

M^r Innes, our clergyman, is greatly obliged for your most valuable letter.—

In Haste | Yours most sincerely | C. Darwin

Your observation on Chalk flint strikes me as very curious.—
