Down, | Beckenham, Kent.

Nov. 5

My dear Sir

I thank you for your extremely kind note & granting of my request so promptly.—2 I will write this evening to Mess. Appleton.—3

I am sorry about Expression book as by your previous note— It is a bad job, but I still think the book will sell in the course of years, though this of course a heavy loss.—4

Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
