My dear Sir
I am very much obliged to you for the loan of the Horticultural Journal: I have read Dr. Herbert’s journal with interest.2 I will return the Journal today to the Athenæum Club & I hope it will not inconvenience you my sending it there, instead of direct to your house.— My wife joins me in kind remembrances to Mrs. Hutton & your family.
Believe me, Yours sincerely, with thanks | C. Darwin
