To Edward Cresy [20 July 1848]1
Down,
Thursday.
My dear Sir,
You have thanked me far too much for the trifling aid which I have given & which I assure you has given me pleasure. I will not fail to speak to Owen,2 Sir H. Delebeche & Hutton, whenever I see them. I have no doubt that you have judged wisely in not getting me to write to the others.
I believe I mentioned to you that I hoped to have had a party of Naturalists here & that I would ask you to meet them: but my health has been so very indifferent & from my wife soon expecting her confinement, I have not asked anyone here.
I shall be at all times very glad to see you & hope you all success in your present scheme.
Yours sincerely, | In Haste, | C. Darwin.
I leave home on Saturday for a week to the sea-side.3
