To J. J. Weir 14 February [1876]1
Down, Beckenham, Kent.
Febr 14.
My dear Sir
I find by dearly-bought experience that such an exertion as going to Crystal Palace knocks me (up) for several days, and therefore I cannot accept your kind offer.2 What you tell me about the nesting of birds is new to me.3
My dear Sir | Yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin.
