To T. H. Huxley [9 December 1859]1
[London]
Friday
My dear Huxley
At your leisure return enclosed in blank envelope to Down. I am off home—
Farewell my good and dear general agent. | C. D.
Do not forget when you write to Köllicker2 to say a word about the Translation, it would do good service to the subject.3 It will be God’s blessing if I do not become the most conceited man in all England.
