To John Murray   3 March [1861]1

Down Bromley Kent

March 3d.

My dear Sir

Many thanks for your satisfactory answers to all my queries.—2 I hope to give no more trouble for a long spell.— I am making some progress, though slow with my Volume “on Variation under Domestication”. But my object is to ask you to alter the address of Andrew Murray (in the list of my presentation copies) to “Royal Hort. Soc. S. Kensington”.3

My dear Sir | Yours sincerely | C. Darwin
