To Michael Foster 9 May [1874]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
May 9th
My dear Dr. Foster
I am very much obliged for the paper, as I was anxious to hear how it was getting on.— I am rather disappointed at £480, I fear we shall not get up much more. I had hoped for 700 or 800. Well we have done our best. I suppose even 500 wd. be a material aid to Dr. Dohrn—2
Yours very sincerely | Ch Darwin
A rich & hopeful Yankee has been sent to.
