My dear Sir

I send rough copy of my letter, which please return, as I have no other.¹ I do not think it would be worth your keeping a copy, but of course you can if you like. I have      a copy by this post to Mr. Farrer.² Sir J. Hooker writes to me that he has sent letter to Mr. Farrer, telling him that he thinks your plan deserves      as the best, but I have not seen the actual letter.³ I have told Farrer that we will agree to whatever he or Mr. Caird thinks best.⁴

With all good wishes and in haste | Yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin.
