To Harriet Lubbock [December 1848–9]1
Wednesday Even
Dear Lady Lubbock
Pray do not give yourself any trouble about the missing Vol. which, I ought to have said, is of very little value & is sure not to be wanted soon, if ever.— It will turn up of itself some day.— It is covered with brown-paper pasted on, with no title outside. Pray do not think of looking for it, but leave it to chance.
Your Ladyships | Truly obliged. | C. Darwin Thursday. Mg.
