To Daniel Sharpe [4 November 1846]1
Down, Farnborough, Kent,
Wednesday
My dear Sir,
As I have not heard from you I suppose you do not want Von Buch’s Travels, so I send Hopkins’ solus—2 please keep it as long as you want & return it directed to me at the Athenaeum Club.— If the Drawer’s happen to be ready the carrier shall take them.3
Ever yours, C. Darwin
