To E. S. Galton 20 November 1879
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.
Nov 20. 1879
My dear Cousin,
I am extremely obliged to you for your letter, which will be most useful in correcting my many shameful errata & blunders should there be a second edition;1 but this I fear is not likely as the book did not sell well at Murray’s sale.2
I saw in the newspaper the death of Mr Wheler; & I am sincerely sorry for the grief which this heavy loss must cause your sister.3 Pray give my kind remembrances to her.
Believe me with many thanks | Yours very sincerely | Charles Darwin
