Dear Sir

I hope this note may reach You in time before You leave Down,² if such should be the case I will pray You to be so kind and send me the four sheets to my adress in London; we leave England only Saturday afternoon. I shall see M^r. Murray an arrange the payment out sending of casts.³

I hope Miss Darwin is going better⁴

Yours truly | W. Kovalevsky

P.S. In case this note reaches You to late, that is after Saturday, I shall write another time from Berlin, but the safest thing in this case will be to send the sheets under band poste-restante Berlin where I am sure to receive them.—

I received Your letter at ten in the evening and having no stamps I commit the offence (considered impardonable in England) to send it unpaid, that it may go to morrow by the first train.—

Yours | W. K.
