From E. A. Darwin   2 July [1862]1

July 2

Dear Charles

If you have not already written me the letter, never mind, as the obliging sub Lib of the Museum went to the Geolog: & did the necessary.2

It is really wondeful the trouble Carlyle takes for such a minute point— I have had 4 or 5 letters & he has probably written half a dozen besides

Yours | E D
