From Frederick Bond 26 June 1860
Cavendish Rd
June 26th. 1860
Dear Sir
The box was registered & arrived here on Saturday night but my being away it was not acknowledged.1 I regret that it was so. I hope you kept it as long as you wished. They are very careful at the post office generally I do not recollect losing a box & have had very few injured & those have been badly packed or bad boxes.
Should I have an opportunity this season I will attend to your wishes as to the small clover’s &c2 I know there are several small moths very fond of some of them & are hardly to be found anywhere but on the flower’s & | Believe me to be | Yours very truly | Fk Bond
C. Darwin. Esqr.
