27 Oct.
My dear Mr. Darwin
Thanks for Tylor’s certificate.2 Can you give me any information as to the exact manner in which the Fuegian harpoons (like the one you gave me sometime ago) were handled & used?3 I should be very much obliged if you would.
Norgate has sent me word that he has only a dozen copies of Prehistoric Times left, so I must be preparing for a second Edition.4
Yours very sincerely | John Lubbock
