My dear Sir

I received this morning your note in which you tell me that you have kindly procured for me the eggs of Pile Games, & I have written to Down to my servants to send to the Station at once & do the best with the eggs.—²

My health became so bad that I c^d. do no work at home, so we have all come here where we shall remain all this month.³

You say that you have got a good many notes for me, & I thank you most sincerely for your kindness: will you be so good as to send them here?

I congratulate you about the Crested Turkey; it will be a wonderful feat if you recover the breed.⁴ I suppose both sexes are crested.

I am far from well today & will write no more, except once again to thank you for your kindness.—

Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
