Down

Jan. 29th.

My dear Gray

I cannot remember whether any address besides Cambridge, is necessary for Mr. Chauncy Wright, will you kindly let him have the enclosed.2

Your’s very sincerely | Ch. Darwin

The year is established by the relationship between this letter and the letter to Chauncey Wright, 21 September 1874 and 29 January 1875 (Correspondence vol. 22).
In a postscript dated 29 January 1875 to his letter to Wright of 21 September 1874 (Correspondence vol. 22), CD explained that the letter had been returned to him because of a mistake in the address, and that since he could not remember whether ‘Cambridge’ was sufficient address, he was forwarding the letter via Asa Gray. Wright lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
