Dear Sir
I find that the Translation of Musari is not in the Catalogue of my Library.1 Nor can I find it in the shelves where it was likely to stand. If my memory does not deceive me it was in loose sheets, & I know not where to look for them in my larger Library, so I cannot comply with your request.2
Dear Sir | yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
