To J. D. Hooker 3 June [1858]
Down Bromley Kent
June 3d
My dear Hooker
I have received a Diploma of Cæs. Leopold. Acad.1 & Sleeman says it will depend on my generosity, whether I will pay for printing Diploma & Registration.2 I am utterly perplexed what to send. Do for Heaven-sake aid me with one line soon.— I do not want to give more than proper, but I am far from wanting to be shabby.—3 Pray forgive this trouble.
Ever yours | C. Darwin
