To John Murray [3 July 1845]1
Down Bromley Kent
Thursday
My dear Sir
I must write to thank you for your really magnificent present of the twelve copies: I assure you I think I have not the smallest claims for them, after your other liberality.
The M.S. will go on Monday or on furthest Tuesday to Mrss. Clowes: I will use your name, in urging them to set it up soon, so as not to run any risk of being too late. I presume Mrss. Clowes will keep the wood cuts safe, as one of them in the last number, belongs to Mrs Smith & Elder.
With my sincere thanks | Yours very faithfully | C. Darwin
