To W. H. Flower [4 March 1878]

Monday
My dear Flower
I have been so poorly all the time that I have not been able to call on you, so I have lost that pleasure.—1 It signifies little my not showing you the photograph of the goose.— If the bone shd. prove blemished I will send a notice to Nature,— perhaps in any case as it turns out rather a curious instance of inheritance, independently of the cause of the malconformation.—2
Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
