Down. | Beckenham | Kent. S.E. [6 Queen Anne Street]

March 1.

My dear Tyndall

Very sincere thanks. I am sorry to trouble you, but you have mistaken the man, as my Dr. W. Ogle of 34 Clarges St. told me he did not know you.—2 He is an Oxford man, & I have liked much what little I have seen of him.— If he may call on you, I do not doubt he wd be proud & pleased.—

Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin

(off very early tomorrow to home)3
