My dear Sir
I have introduced a few additions & made a few corrections to my book on Worms, in the 5th thousandth which is now printing. I send by this post the corrected proof-sheets & few M.S additions, which I think are worth inserting. All the corrected passages are marked, so it will not take you much time to find the corresponding places—1 In Haste | My dear Sir | yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin
