To V. O. Kovalevsky   3 June [1867]1

Down. | Bromley. | Kent. S.E.

June 3.

Dear Sir

I enclose a sheet & have 4 others ready to send but as each sheet with the envelope weighs an ounce the postage will be very expensive to you.2 Therefore I will wait till I hear again before sending the 4 other sheets.

With respect to what you say about illustrating my book with wood cuts from Brehm’s work, it wd I think be an excellent scheme.3

I have not seen Brehm’s work nor do I know where I cd see it.

Believe me dear Sir | yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
