Mr Shipley

Dear Sir

I had'nt got so far as to claim or ask for a permanent location for my model of Darwin. Please excuse me for not being more definite, I meant as a suitable show during your celebrations, other use or disposal may be considered after, or,— I should fetch it away again.

The prints I sent you in my last; I am distributing next and bust — Moscow — California, English and foreign universities and

to Professors and Doctors of Science. If I do no good I don't think I shall do any harm.

If you give me any names of or places I shall be obliged but don't if you had rather not.

Yours very truly

Horace Montford.
