To Henry Colburn [23 October 1837]1
Dear Sir
I returned from the country on Saturday night, and I will now continue to superintendend the revises myself.— and I am much obliged for your assistance during my absence.2
As now I shall be on the spot, and shall be able to return the proofs rather quicker, would you have the kindness to write one line to Mr Whiting to ask him to send me the slips rather oftener.3 He would be doing me a great favour if such arrangement could be effected
Yours truly | Chas. Darwin
Monday Morning | 36 Great Marlborough St.—
