From Leonard Darwin   [before 27 June 1874]1

Dear Father

I was going to work those things tonight but I am afraid I have hopelessly mislaid the paper on which I had copied the figures. Would you send them by post. I have written to Abney.2

Your affec son | Leonard Darwin

If not very expensive shall I get a little glass case made about 12 in cube or shall you wait till you see if you experiment succeeds.3
