From E. A. Darwin 2 November [1877?]1
Nov 2
Dear Charles
I scarcely know if it is worth repeating but at the Club yesterday Mangles said “I got your Brothers autograph in a curious way today I was looking into Sprenger’s (?) Mosses & there was his letter pasted into it. I observed to the Librarian that if ever Sprenger should happen to see it it might have an awkward look as if you despised the book The Libr agreed & tore it out & I kept the auto:”2
Yours aff | EAD
