To John Tyndall 25 April [1873]1
April 25—
Private
My dear Tyndall
Is not this a charming letter?2
Ought the circular & copy to be sent to Lady Millicent Jones? I shd. doubt it under present circumstance; but you will know by far best.— If it is sent perhaps it had better go to her last.3
I am so happy about the whole affair.
In Haste | Ever yours | C. Darwin
Poor dear Sir C. Lyell sent in this morning an additional 50£.4
