From Francis Trevelyan Buckland 29 September 1866
37. Albany St. | Regent’s Park. | N. W.
Sept 29 | 1866.
My Dear Mr Darwin
Will you allow me to call your attention to “Land & Water” a copy of which I now send you.1
The Field behaved so badly to me that I simply withdrew from them2—& I now conduct the portions of the paper to which my name is affixed—3
The work I assure you is perfect slavery.
Will you kindly patronize me, & make my columns the medium for obtaining any information you require. I have a large staff of zoologists working for me at home, & a large correspondence abroad.
Trusting that you are much better in health
Yours ever | Most obedient & obliged | Frank Buckland
C Darwin Esq
