Dear Sir
I have never received the book as by enclosed—nor can I remember having ever ordered it. Can you find any order from me?
I could not have ordered it during the last few weeks, for the Author sent me a copy some time ago.1
Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
I have waited a few days as parcels are sometimes delayed.
