Jan 3. 1878
My dear Sir,
I have many apologies to make, for I have just found the missing number of Kosmos. I dispatch by this mornings post the December number. I will before long read the discussion on stridulation to which you refer.1
As my son Francis does not attend at all to entomology but devotes all his time to plant physiology, it would be hardly worth his while to belong to yr society—which has my best wishes for its success.2
Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
