To W. H. Flower [after 16 February 1880]1
I am much obliged for the books. I see that they are marked from the Council & if it is proper will you be [so kind] return my sincere thanks to the C for its gift.—2 I shall be glad to read about the skulls, & I daresay you will convert me from my previous state of heresy.—3 Frank & I will both be glad to read [about] the [curiosities] Hunter says on plants.—4 We thoroughly enjoyed your visit here.—5
Yours very sincerely | C. D.
