To É. M. Heckel   7 January [1881?]1

Down, | Beckenham, Kent.

Jan. 7th.

My dear Sir

Looking again at your last note, I see that you ask for my Photograph, & I cannot remember having sent one.—2

If I did send one you can burn the enclosed.—

With much respect | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin

1
The year is conjectured from the fact that the letter was tipped into Heckel’s copy of Movement in plants, which was published in November 1880.
2
The note has not been found; Heckel’s most recent extant letter to CD concerned the French translation of Movement in plants (Heckel trans. 1882; see Correspondence vol. 28, letter from E. M. Heckel, 23 September 1880).
