To Nevil Story-Maskelyne   6 December 1871

Dear Sir

I am very sorry that I have no spare copies (all having been given away) of the papers for which M^rs Maskelyne wishes, with the exception of one on orchids. But I add copies of a few others which it is possible that she may like to possess—¹

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

P.S. I forgot to add that my paper on Climbing Plants, which seems to me a very curious subject, can be procured at M^ss. Williams & Norgate | Henrietta St   Covent Garden | for 3^s or 4^s.— I have not one clean copy of it.—
