To Williams & Norgate   10 April [1860]1

Down Bromley Kent

Ap 10

Dear Sir

Will you be so kind as to send those two copies of the Translation of my Origin, which I received this morning (I presume through you) & which I now send to you by Post, to

Prof. Van der Hoeven

& to

Prof. Moleschott.—2

I believe Van der Hoeven lives at Leyden, but I do not know where Prof. Moleschott lives, but Prof. Huxley3 tells me that you will probably know.

Kindly charge carriage to me; likewise for a copy of English Edition, which I have asked Mr Murray to send you for my Prof Liebig of Munich.—4

Dear Sir | yours faithfully | C. Darwin
