To Robert Hutton [1847 – 12 November 1848]1
Down Farnborough | Kent
Sunday
My dear Mr. Hutton
The next morning after seeing you at the Geolog. Soc.2 I heard from my Father, that he had written to an old friend, who, as he thought probable, was intimate with Lady E. Finch,3 & thus I have got a good introduction. I write this to save you or your friend any further trouble, & I thank you heartily for your very kind readiness to help me.
Believe me | Very truly yours | C. Darwin
Pray give my kind compliments to Mrs & the Miss Huttons
