To John Tyndall 2 [May] 18731
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
Ap 2 1873
My dear Tyndall
I am very much obliged for all the trouble you have taken, & I hope you do not think that I have been over-cautious in asking for the copies to be returned.2
I think I told you that H. had asked for a list of the names, which I have sent in alphabetical order.3 And now our work is completed. I return the 2 enclosed letters, but you will see that I spitted one by mistake—4
My dear Tyndall | yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
