Abstract
CHARLES DARWIN wrote several letters to William Benjamin Carpenter, five of which have been published in the “Life and Letters”. The original MSS., eight in number, came to me on the death of my uncle, Joseph Estlin Carpenter, the last surviving son of William Benjamin, and I have presented them to Down House for preservation by the British Association.
