Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | (Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.)
April 30th. 1881
Dear Sir
I am obliged for the copy of my Movements of Plants, which is much better got up than the English edition.— I am very sorry to hear about Prof. Carus’ health.—1
I have long thought Kosmos an admirable Journal & I rejoice that it is to be continued, with, as I hope, increased success.—2
I thank you for sending it to me & remain, Dear Sir | yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
