My dear Gray,

The enclosed note of Huxleys you will see shows that he will be glad of M^r Wrights article, if approved of; but he cannot pay for it.² I really do not believe that there is any other Review which would accept it, for all have treated of the Origin.—   If M^r Wright cannot better dispose of it; it had better be sent to M^essrs Williams & Norgate Henrietta St., Covent Garden; as they publish the Review.—   I feel sure that the Review will have great merit, & so far be worthy of M^r Wright’s article; & it would be a great pity if it were not published, as you say it is so good.— You will see that Huxley asks whether you would ever contribute to his Review; but you must, I fear, be pledged to Silliman’s.³

I shall be anxious to hear your final decision on manner of publishing your Three Articles.⁴ I still think No^r 2 best, though I believe most would prefer No^r 3.⁵

I sh^d. rather like to see sub rosâ Harvey’s letter.—⁶ I have had much correspondence with him; & he wrote me some very nice letters. I return Ticknor & Fields letter,⁷ as you might want to refer to it.—

My dear Gray | Yours most truly | C. Darwin

There is a nice, but too flattering article on the Origin by a young man, whom many think most highly of.—⁸
