To W. E. Darwin [after 5 November 1871]1
My dear W.
You will save me an enormous loss of time.— “Copy” means M.S. & corrected Proofs.—2 For future please always send “copy” with your corrected proofs; for I will just glance at much altered parts, & then I do not remember until glancing at the old proofs.—
C. D.
Please to return Hen’s most interesting acct & the Address—3
