To T. H. Farrer   24 September [1868]1

Down. | Bromley. | Kent. S.E.

Sep. 24.

My dear Mr Farrer

I have been pleased to receive the enclosed this morning, which I forward without delay. As soon as I received the appendix about Lobelia I forwarded that also & presume that a proof sheet will soon be sent.2

When you have corrected the enclosed you had better send it direct by the address enclosed.

I am glad the Editors had the sense to appreciate your paper.3

Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin

Footnotes

The year is established by the relationship between this letter and the letter from T. H. Farrer, 20 September 1868.
The enclosure has not been identified, but was presumably a proof-sheet of Farrer 1868, without the part on Lobelia or the additions Farrer later sent to CD (see letter from T. H. Farrer, 17 September 1868 and 20 September 1868 and nn. 1 and 3, and letter to the editor of Annals and Magazine of Natural History, 22 September [1868]; see also letter from T. H. Farrer, 24 September 1868).
See the letter to the editor of Annals and Magazine of Natural History, 22 September [1868] and n. 1.
