Description: Charles Darwin?, 36 Great Marlborough Street, London, to Wm. Darwin Fox. The proof sheets are coming in and so he will be busy; he will then go down to Shrewsbury which he is very much looking forward to for he loves wooded country in England during the autumn. After that he will come back to Marlborough Street and begin pure Natural History; his time will all be taken up with supervising the illustration of Zoology of Beagle's Voyage for which the Government has given him some money. L., 1p. incomplete.

Transcript: August 28th – 36 Gt Marlborough St (Top) I suppose you heard long ago by the papers of Henslow’s good living – Is it not glorious. I think we shall live to see him my Lord Bishop. If so the whigs will spoil a good naturalist, but make an excellent bishop. (Side) Part of a letter of C Darwin’s came with mine from Isle of Wight – Emma ? My dear Fox, I take shame to myself for not having sooner answered your letter, and such a letter deserved more gratitude – I partly waited, that I night be able to tell you more definitely my plans. The proof sheets are beginning to tumble in so that I shall be tied by the leg, hard at work as any galley slave during the next five weeks. I then mean to run down to Shrewsbury for a few days as actually since the middle of the winter I have only been able to pay them one visit of nine days. It is a good joke, that during the whole five years I was longing most sincerely to be at Shrewsbury & now time glides by, & I am stewing in this great den of a place. How I shall like a good walk or a good days shooting with you on a fine clear
