To Giuseppe Merighi 16 February [1882]
Dear Sir—
My observations on the geology of S. Africa have no value. They relate only to the junction between the clay-slate & the granite.— They were published at the end of my “Geolog. Observations on Volcanic Islands”.—1 I do not possess any duplicate copy.—
Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
