To T. H. Huxley 22 November [1851]
Down Farnborough | Kent
Nov. 22d
Dear Sir
Will you be so kind as to inform me whether you are a member of the Ray Society: if you are not, I am anxious to be allowed to send you a copy of my volume on Cirripedia,1 for I hope & flatter myself some small portion would somewhat interest you. Not knowing your address I have directed this to the care of Mr. Taylor.2
Pray believe me | Dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | Charles Darwin T. H. Huxley Esqe
If you have become a member of the Ray Socy., I hope that you will forgive my troubling you for nothing.—
