To É. M. Heckel 7 January [1881?]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
Jan. 7th.
My dear Sir
Looking again at your last note, I see that you ask for my Photograph, & I cannot remember having sent one.—2
If I did send one you can burn the enclosed.—
With much respect | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
Footnotes
The year is conjectured from the fact that the letter was tipped into Heckel’s copy of Movement in plants, which was published in November 1880.
The note has not been found; Heckel’s most recent extant letter to CD concerned the French translation of Movement in plants (Heckel trans. 1882; see Correspondence vol. 28, letter from E. M. Heckel, 23 September 1880).
