To John Murray 29 January [1860]1
Down Bromley Kent
Jan. 29th
My dear Sir
I had quite forgotten that my Journal was stereotyped.2 I find that I could here & there improve style, but that is not of course worth while. At p. 378 I much wish to make a few corrections, which I shall be able to do in a few days, & I will then send the M.S. & you must decide whether it is possible to introduce them.3
Very many thanks for your note— I write in great Haste to catch our early Sunday Post
Yours | C. Darwin

Summary
Had forgotten that Journal [of researches] was stereotyped. Not worth while now to improve style. Wants to make a few corrections, if possible, on p. 378.
