To William Bowman 8 April [1872]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
Ap. 8th
My dear Bowman
Donders in describing the movement of the eye in meditation refers me to “Sölberg Wells, Treatise on the Diseases of the Eye 1869;” & says that perhaps you could lend it me.—2 If you could spare it for only 2 or 3 days it would be quite sufficient. Can you do so? I suppose that it is a large book, as he refers to p. 548.; so, it had better be sent (if you can send it) to
C. Darwin
Orpington Station
Kent
South Eastern
Railway.
Believe me, my dear Bowman | Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
