To D. J. Wintle   9 December 1881

Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | (Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.)

December 9th 1881

Dear Sir

I am much obliged for your interesting note. The facts which you relate are quite new to me & very curious.— I have other reasons to believe that I was in error when I doubted about the effect of beating the ground on earth-worms.—1

I remain, Dear Sir, | Yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
