To John Lubbock 17 January [1867]1
Down
Jan 17
My dear Lubbock
I have embodied what you say, in the enclosed note of introduction to Mr Murray & I very sincerely hope it may answer its purpose.2
We take this opportunity of returning with many thanks the beautiful book & the curious revolving machine which Lady Lubbock was so kind as to lend us.3
I was so very sorry not to see you the other day when you called & hear about some wonderful new animal. You must have a knack of creating new animals down there.4
yours very truly | Ch. Darwin
