To Editor of the Natural History Review1 [December? 1864]2
My dear Sir
Will you look at the enclosed papers, & if you think fit, publish a note in the Nat. Hist. Review?3 If not worth while, please tear up the papers & please do not in any case take the trouble to acknow⟨ledge⟩ ⟨one third of a page missing⟩
yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
If you do insert a note, I think you had better say “communicated by Mr A. Fonblanque4 of the British Consulate at Alexandria to Mr Darwin”.—
