My dear Mr. Darwin,

Very many thanks for yr kind letter; I have altered my paper accordingly somewhat materially.—1

Again, thanks for the books so kindly lent.2 I have taken them to yr Brothers, 6. Queen Anne St—with your address upon them.3 & moreover told the footman they were for you.—

Hoping yr health is improving, believe me | Dr. Mr Darwin | Yrs very truly | Geo. Henslow
