To Anton de Bary   11 February 1879

Down, | Beckenham, Kent.

Feb 11. 1879

Dear Sir

I have often received from various writers copies of the Bot: Zeitung; but lately they have come so regularly that I think I must be indebted to you for them.1 I assure you that I fully appreciate your kindness & the honour which you have thus done me. But I write to beg you not to send them in future as I regularly take in this your invaluable publication; & have procured the volumes from the commencement.

With the highest respect | I remain dear Sir | yours faithfully | Charles Darwin

Footnotes

Summary

Thanks ADeB for sending him Botanische Zeitung, but asks him to send it no more, as CD takes it regularly and has procured the volumes from the beginning.
