12 Upper Gower St. - Asks Whewell to tone down his remarks criticising the delay in publishing Darwin's book, as it might annoy Captain FitzRoy, which he would not wish. Thanks Whewell for his kindness, not only his flattering notice in his Address [to the Geological Society] but also "to the manner of your whole intercourse with me, since my return to England."
