To J. S. Bowerbank 24 February [1849]
Down Farnborough Kent
Feb 24th.
My dear Sir
I am very much obliged for the Scalpellum-fragments. The Plumularia shall be returned to you hereafter; I may want to look at base.—1 The Acasta’s are grand & seem to me quite new; but I know nothing of the genus as yet: there are quite sufficient specimens.2
I thank you sincerely for all your kindness & pray do not forget me, when you are going over your Sponges.
My work progresses slowly & in April I intend going for two months to Malvern to see if I can do my health any good.
Yours very sincerely | C. Darwin
