To W. H. Harvey   7 January [1857]1

Down Bromley Kent

Jan. 7th.—

My dear Sir

I am very much obliged to you for your kind information which is just the amount which I wanted.— I fear I shall not be at Dublin, the frightful voyage with all its sickness would alone deter me!2

With many thanks. Yours very sincerely | Charles Darwin
