To Norman Lockyer 13 May [1874]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
May 13th
My dear Sir
I enclose the notes about my life & list of my publications. I do not know in the least whether they will be of any use. They certainly are not fit to print. I thought that you were going to get some one to write a sketch, & then these dates & list might have been of use.2
I return with thanks the letters about Primroses: they contain very little new. Dr. Bree’s is the best.— I fear that you will regret having admitted my first letter, which has generated such a shoal of letters.3
Pray believe me | Yours faithfully & obliged | Ch. Darwin
