My dear Darwin

The buck is quite well— the enclosed note just received, explains everything1   Now that Dr. Carter has returned, he will see that all is rightly done.—2 Will you kindly tell your servant to explain to the carrier.?3

Very sincerely yours | Francis Galton

Do not care to return the note.

1
See letters to Francis Galton, 23 January [1872] and n. 2, and 9 August [1872]. The enclosure has not been found.
2
Charles Henry Carter was a physician whom Galton employed to assist in his rabbit experiments (see Correspondence vol. 19, letter from Francis Galton, 21 November 1871).
3
The carrier was George Snow. The servant was probably William Jackson or Mark Ansell (see letter to Francis Galton, 27 May [1872] and n. 2).
