To A. W. Bennett 11 March [1873]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
March 11
My dear Sir
I heard only a few days ago that you had ceased to assist the Editor of Nature, & I was extremely sorry to hear it.2
It has just occurred to me to ask you where the wood-blocks are, (which belong to the Linn. Soc.) of the Climbing Plants.3 I am interested on this, as I shall have to borrow them before very long, & they might easily get mislaid at Mss Macmillan’s.—
Will you take promptly the proper steps, & kindly inform me, that I may know where they are. Excuse this trouble, & believe me, Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
