My dear Sir
Many thanks for your offer, but I have the pamphlet; it is clever but has not changed my conclusions.1
I forget whether I have made any alterations about the pigeons in the Origin (excepting about a crossed bird about which I blundered) but to make sure, I send by this post the revises of the last Edit. which are correct excepting perhaps here & there a word;2 but I must particularly beg you to be so kind as to return the sheet as it is of consequence to me.
My dear Sir | yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
