From W. C. McIntosh   21 November 1881

My dear Sir,

Though I hear that you are favourable to the candidature of my friend Ray Lankester in the approaching candidature for the Chair of Nat. History in the University of Edinburgh, perhaps you may yet be able to permit me to have the enclosed revised.¹

I need not say that I should esteem such most highly.

Yours very faithfully, | W. C. M^cIntosh.

Chas. Darwin Esq. | M.A., D.C.L., FRS
