To G. H. Darwin 13 [July 1878]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.
13th
My dear George.
I am greatly obliged for the drawings— some will do very well, but a few little alterations are requisite; which I can explain when at home.2 I will keep some specimens in spirits— I suspect one part has greatly swollen from the action of water & spirits; but the next fresh specimens which I get I will compare carefully with your drawings.—
From want of time I do not think I shall write my paper on Thalia till the autumn, so there is no hurry— I had intended writing it at once.
I very sorry to have cost you so many hours work.3
Your affect. Father | C. Darwin
I am very tired so no more.—
