Dear Darwin

Thanks for yours of 19^th Oct.²

You can say to Murray that as Ticknor & Fields sell only their own publications, they cannot avail themselves of his offer of copies of Origin for Amer. sales at $\frac{1}{2}$ price.³

But I could wish that offer made—say to Messrs. Scribner & Co. New York—whose agent in London is Mr. Welford ⁴—who must be known at Murray’s, & in all the Row ⁵

I want you to know that Mr. Agassiz—having sent to me, thro, a mutual friend—a handsome apology for some very bad conduct to me— —a mere outbreak of spoiled temper, 1$\frac{1}{2}$ years ago, we are now on amicable terms—⁶ Till then, I was obliged to ignore him.

Ever Yours | A. Gray
