From Emma Darwin to John Scott 24 September [1863]1
Malvern Wells
Sep. 24
Dear Sir
Mr Darwin desires me to say that your M.S. is safely arrived & as there is no chance of his being able to study it for several weeks would you like it returned to you or shall he keep it?2
I am dear Sir | yours truly | E. Darwin
Mr Darwin desires me to thank you for the papers on Sterility of Orchids.3 He sent one to the Botanische Zeitung & one to Dr Hooker, but he has not heard from Dr Hooker since.4
The first thing Mr D can apply his mind to shall be your paper but I am afraid that it must be some time first.5
