To W. B. Tegetmeier   16 October [1866]1

Down Bromley | Kent

Oct 16th.

My dear Sir

Very many thanks for all your kind assistance now completed.

I have written to Mr. Murray to pay Mr. L. Wells when he calls for payment.2 I hope to begin printing in the beginning of next year but I can work only slowly. I need not say that one of the first copies shall be sent to you.3

My dear Sir, | Yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin
