Down Bromley Kent

Feb. 23d

Dear Sir

I much regret there has been so much delay in sending you your copies of your Paper—it was caused by a mistake of the Publishers.—2

I have taken the liberty of sending a copy to Prof. Lindley of the Gardener’s Chronicle & another to Mr Babington.—3

Yours very faithfully | C. Darwin
