Nov. 25
My dear Sir
I send my little Preface; which I do not at all like, but which I cannot improve.2 I shd. like hereafter to see it in type.— Mr Bates tells me that Hardwicke & Bohn of Piccadilly intend to go in for publishing solid books, & if your present publisher shd. change his mind Mr Bohn might be worth applying to.—3
yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin
