Dear Sir
Will you be so kind as to take the trouble to inform me the address of Mr.—(?) Mason, who I believe is at Madeira,2 & whether he intends visiting the Azores. I want him to collect for me 2 or 3 trifling specimens3 & I do not know how to write to him.—
Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
