Feb 7 1874
My dear Mr Darwin
All the books you asked for were fortunately “at home”, & a clerk has already packed them up & sent them, addressed as you wished.1 With regard to the classified catalogue,2 I believe I have authority from the Council to present copies to any Institution or Individual whom I may think would make a good use of them; there will be no need, therefore, to trouble you for the amt nominallly charged.
I have not at present learnt Dr Staley’s whereabouts; nor has any one from the Sandwich Is. turned up here, by happy chance.3
Yours sincerely | H W Bates
