To W. B. Tegetmeier   7 March [1858]1

Down Bromley Kent

March 7th

My dear Sir

I wrote some weeks ago to say that I had some Fowls-skins from Burmah, which I shd. be glad to send to you, if you wd. like to see them.2 As I have not received any answer, I fear my note either miscarried, or that you are not well.— I hope sincerely that this last alternative is not the true one. I wd send Box anywhere, Carriage free.—

My dear Sir | In Haste | Yours sincerely | C. Darwin
