running up from the Falkland Islands to the Rio Negro (or Colorado). The Beagle will proceed to M: Video; but if it can be managed I intend staying at the former place. It is now some months since we have been at a civilized port, nearly all this time has been spent in the most Southern part of Tierra del Fuego. It is a detestable place, gales succeed gales with such short intervals that it is difficult to do anything. We were 23 days off Cape Horn could by no means get to the Westward. The last

Negro in Patagonia; our domineering master, the wind, ordered otherwise; in consequence the greater part of this winter has been passed in this river at Maldonado. Amongst a heap of letters which awaited me, I was sadly disappointed not to see your hand-writing: for several months I had been looking forward with no little

as I can. I will copy out the list of Botanical questions on a separate piece of paper. I have been paying the Beagle a visit today. She sails in a week for Australia. It appeared marvellously odd to see the little vessel and to think that I should not be one of the party. If it was not for the sea sickness, I should have no objection to start again. I envy you people in the country; even the smoky gardens near Greenwich looked quite beautiful, so fresh green. Yours ever most truly Chas. Darwin

late stage in the negotiations with my publisher, helped to bring this work to a conclusion. Part I: Letters 1-56, 1831-7 The early letters tell the story of how Charles Darwin came to receive the offer of the place of naturalist on board the surveying vessel H.M.S. Beagle, and how he nearly refused it. The main narrative of the voyage is told in the series of letters now preserved in the Kew Library. Added chronologically are seven letters from Henslow to Darwin, of which four were included at

Charles was staying at the time of this crisis the distance was only twenty miles proved at this juncture to be a decisive factor in Charles Darwin's life. Josiah Wedgwood was thus able to drive over immediately with Charles to Shrewsbury, and talk directly to the doctor; otherwise Charles might, out of filial obedience, have refused the offer of his place on the Beagle.
