May 18/66
Dear Mr. Darwin
I have at last written my article on Hybridism for the Popular Science Review,1 & have much to thank you for so kindly lending me yr books &c. on the subject.2 I will forward them to the address given to me within a few days.
I have wanted to ask you whether you would mind running over the proof sheet (about 8 pp.) so that you might give me a hint or two as to any passage you might think objectionable, or any statement too positively asserted &c, as being a subject I knew nothing about previously, I might have been led into making some wrong or hazardous statement. If however, ill health, time &c. should prevent you, pray do not hesitate a moment in saying so & obliging3
Yours faithfully | Geo. Henslow.
