To John Murray 15 November [1870]1
Down. | Beckenham | Kent. S.E.
Nov. 15th
My dear Sir
When at leisure I shd much like to hear about your book-sale, as far as I am concerned.—2
In the enclosed letter I cannot read the signature— is it Rotterdam sufficient address? I will send him clean sheets as I shd like a translation & he will no doubt buy stereotypes.3
I cannot conceive what the reason is, but I have as yet received clean sets of only 3 first sheets from Messrs Clowes.—4
yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
