My dear Sir
I am sorry to hear of the loss.— I directed the sheets myself & am sure that there was no error. But I do not understand whether it is the first or second lot which is lost.2 Therefore will you kindly tell me what sheets you actually possess? I return home on the 20th.3
Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
I have other sheets ready but I suppose you are not in a hurry
