Captain Beaufort to Miss Darwin

Captain Beaufort presents his compliments to Miss Darwin, with the enclosed letter, and perhaps she shall pardon the liberty he takes in adding that Capt. Fitzroy needs no opportunity of expressing the unqualified satisfaction he feels in Mr Darwins Society ─ and in his last despatch he says "D, is equally liked & respected by every person in the Ship."

Admiralty ─ June 29/32.─
