To J. V. Carus   10 October [1867]1

Down. | Bromley. | Kent. S.E.

Oct 10

My dear Sir

I am sorry you have had so much trouble. I cannot imagine how the sheet could have been lost unless opened by the post office, or unless I sent the sheet by mistake to France or Russia in which case I hope it will be returned & it shall be sent to you.2

In the meantime I send by this post a corrected revise which I trust will serve your purpose—

Dear Sir | yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
