Dear Sir

I wrote to you above a week ago to ask you to send me immediately the body of one of my Porto Santo Rabbits, together with some information.2

I have not received the rabbit nor any acknowledgement of my letter from you. I now request you will be so good as to write to me by return of post

Dear Sir | yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
