My dear Sir.

I have received my 20 copies & am much obliged to you for the same. I write now to say that the Binder by some wonderful Blunder has bound the enclosed in all my copies.—1 Will you please order it to be pulled out. It belongs, perhaps, to Leighton’s Volume.2 I know not the address of the Binder, otherwise I would not have troubled you.

Yours sincerely | C. Darwin

CD’s personal copy of Living Cirripedia (1851) does not contain the extra material.
