To Richard Kippist 24 November [1864]
Down. | Bromley. | Kent. S.E.
Nov. 24th
My dear Sir
I send a paper received today on one of the most curious orchids in the world.—1
Whether it will be worth printing in the opinion of the Council,2 I cannot of course say; but I may add that I shd. think that figures C & E. would perhaps suffice, if done delicately & accurately.—3
My dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
