To Albany Hancock 22 June [1851]
Down Farnborough | Kent
June 22d.
My dear Sir
I write merely to thank you very much for your assistance regarding the Book & to request you to especially thank Mr. Alder when you see him for his kindness.—1 I am much obliged for the offer of the Iblas, but being on a rugged support, I do not think they would aid me.2
Pray believe me | Yours sincerely | C. Darwin
You can return the M.S.3 whenever you like, but I shd be sorry to lose the pages, though of no value.
