My dear Sir
I should of course be proud to be one of your Series;2 but I cannot spare a day to go to London; & I am not likely to be there soon: I may, however in course of summer, & will call on Mr. Edwards, if it be then not too late; & he can inform me.—3
My dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
