To John Murray [1 March 1871]1
6, Queen Anne St.
Wednesday night
(tomorrow I return to Down)2
My dear Mr. Murray
I have just received a note from Mr. Dallas, saying he is pressed for money, will you be so very kind as to settle at once with him.3
As I am in the begging line I will take the opportunity of begging for a few copies of new Edit. of the Descent; and pray kindly inform me as soon as ever copies are nearly ready, that I may communicate with you.4
I have just returned the 4 slightly corrected sheets to Messrs. Clowes; so I shall cause no delay.5
I hear flattering accounts from indirect, and therefore trustworthy, sources about the Book.
Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
