Dear Sir

I am not the less obliged to you for getting me Ferguson,² that on my telling an acquaintance that I could not purchase a copy he sent me his own as a present.—³

It is not much of a loss, but if you could dispose of copy sent, for a lesser price, I would return it you.— But this is not likely, if I do not hear I will understand in a few days that I must keep it or rather give it away.

Yours sincerely | C. Darwin
