Dear Mr Buckston Browne
Here is a typewritten copy of the letters we were looking at the other evening.
I am very glad to think they should find a home in the house where they were written.
In the first letter there is a peculiar phrase "Rec'd in you." Do you know if Darwin habitually used this expression? I dont remember coming across it elsewhere.
yours very truly
Lawrence J Jones
