My dear Mr. Darwin
I have just got the rest of Dr. Krause’s MS., so he was not so long after his promised time after all.—1 I will get to work at it as soon & as hard as I can, but for a few days I have other things that must be attended to.— He refers to many quotations from your grandfather’s works which must be taken from the originals & the “Zoonomia” I can’t get either at the Linnean or the Royal— They have it at the Royal Institution, but I am not a member, & I don’t know whether they let books go out.—2 However, I suppose it can be managed by some means or other.—
Believe me | Yours very truly | W S Dallas
