From St George Jackson Mivart 6 April 1868
7 North Bank | N.W.
April 6th 1868
My dear Sir.
The paper you left with me I handed to one of my colleagues—1 I was much surprised to see the paragraph in last week’s British Medical Journal & hasten to assure you it was inserted without my consent or approval being asked—2 Nevertheless I trust it may be the means of obtaining you information & the gentlemen who administer chloroform at St Mary’s have been specially requested to observe the matter in which you are interested.3
Believe me | My dear Sir | Your’s very truly | St Geo Mivart.
C. Darwin Esq.
