To John Lubbock 10 [September 1853]1
Down Bromley Kent
10th—
Dear Lubbock
Did I understand you rightly that you had lately seen somewhere a Paper on the metamorphoses of the Pycnogons?2 I want to tell Mr C. S. Bate where, that is if my memory is right & you did tell me.— Will you take the trouble to send me one line?— I hope you are prosperous. I am much knocked up with Mr Sowerby.3
Ever your’s | C. Darwin
