From E. A. Darwin 2 July [1862]1
July 2
Dear Charles
If you have not already written me the letter, never mind, as the obliging sub Lib of the Museum went to the Geolog: & did the necessary.2
It is really wondeful the trouble Carlyle takes for such a minute point— I have had 4 or 5 letters & he has probably written half a dozen besides
Yours | E D
