From Charles Lyell   18 June 1831

Dear Henslow

Many thanks for your letter on pollen–which I shall try to make use of by a slight verbal alteration.–

I return Decandolle & if you will return a shirt & neck-cloth which I borrowed from “the first of men.” I shall be obliged to you for I forgot to give then when he was here–

Perhaps Hans Sloanes name of the bean or Lenticuli is wrong now– p. 76–

You will think perhaps that I am giving myself range enough in your depart ^t., but I lay claim of all change, or causes of change, in organic or inorganic nature– I do not want to accumulate examples of precisely, same kinds of migration but if I have omitted any principles or modificate any principle pray give it me–

As we are pushing on I shall be glad if you can be prompt as heretofor–

I shall want Amici for a fortnight at least–

Bartram was only 3.6. so that may stand me–

believe very truly yours | Chas Lyell.
