Down Bromley Kent
May 18th
Dear Sir
Please order “Ungers Versuch einer Geschichte der Pflanzen-Welt”— (Wien.)1
Dr Asa Gray in writing letter dated May 4th. from U. States says he has read a review of my work the “Origin of Species” in the “British & Foreign Medical Review”. Do you know whether this is different from the Medical & Chirurgical Review which you procured & sent for me to my Brothers.—2 If it be different, & you can find out for me in which month there was a Review of my work, please procure copy, & send it to 6 (formerly 57) Queen Anne St.—3
Pray excuse this trouble & believe me | Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | C. Darwin
