Dear Sir
On receiving your letter of the 19th, I wrote at once to Messrs Williams & Norgate, but owing to some accident received their answer only this morning.1 They inform me that they despatched my small parcel on Feb. 23 to Leipzig to be forwarded to you: & they expect that you will have by this time received it.— They do not mention who their correspondents in the Book-trade are in Leipzig..— I fear my parcel is not worth so much trouble to you..—
Dear Sir | Your’s very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
