From John Harward 22 May 1868
Chas. Darwin Esq.
Dear Sir,
I have received your letter dated the 20th. instt. & I can I have no doubt ere long obtain for you the information.1
A Clergyman a few miles from this place has for many years kept a flock of pure Merino Sheep & I will take the first opportunity of driving over to see him on the subject of your letter.2 This will I think be better than writing to him, but some professional engagements which I have on hand will preclude me from seeing him for about a week or 9 days.
I have a large flock of mountain Sheep called “Herdwicks” in Westmorland & will send you before long a few notes respecting their peculiarities if on looking over them I think them worth your consideration.
I am dear Sir | Your’s faithfully | Jno Harward
Winterfold. | Kidderminster
22 May 1868.
