To G. C. Robertson 24 June [1877]1
Bassett | Southampton.
June 24th.
My dear Sir,
I beg pardon for troubling you but M. Aglave (Editeur Revue Scientifique) to whom I lie under obligation, wants to bring out a French Translation of my little paper in Mind.2
Will you kindly give me permission, & in this case will you further be so good as to direct the printers to send to me to present address3 the old proof, or a new proof of my paper. I would not ask or take so much trouble did I not feel under obligations to M. Aglave who supplicates for an immediate proof.
Forgive me for causing so much trouble about so very small an affair.
Yours sincerely. | In haste. | Ch. Darwin.
