Prever in Jena gerichteten Briefe einen so eingehenden und für seinen Charakter so bezeichnenden Bericht erstatt,t, dass wir

Spends a week at Madeira Islands; and then Rio de Janeiro. They all think most extremely probable, home by the Indian archipelago; but till that is decided, I will not be so.

You may be sure, therefore, of having a very pleasant companion, who will enter heartily into all your views. The ship sails about the end of September, and you must lose no time in making known your acceptance to Captain Beaufort, Admiralty Hydrographer. I have had a good deal of correspondence about this matter [with Henslow?], who feels, in common with myself, the greatest anxiety that you

Beaufort and Fitz-Roy. Good-bye. You will hear from me constantly. Direct 17 Spring Gardens. Tell nobody in Shropshire yet. Be sure not. C. DARWIN. I was so tired that evening I was in Shrewsbury that I thanked none of you for your kindness half so much as I felt. Love to my father. The reason I don't want people told in Shropshire: in case I should not go, it will make it more flat. C. Darwin to Miss S. Darwin. 17 Spring Gardens, Monday [September 5, 1831].

The manner of proceeding will just suit me. They anchor the ship, and then remain for a fortnight at a place. I have made Captain Beaufort perfectly understand me.
