DARWIN, CHARLES. Letter signed ("Ch. Darwin") to Dr. W. Ogle, text in the hand of his wife Emma, "Down Beckenham," n.d. [c. 1878]. 1 page, 8vo, left margin a bit uneven . [ With :] Envelope signed ("C. Darwin") addressed to Dr. Ogle, with postmarks dated 1873, apparently associated with an earlier letter from Darwin to Ogle. Darwin thanks his correspondent for a translation of a work on plant defenses: "Many thanks for your translation of Kerner which arrived while I was away from Down for a day or two. I shall be very glad to read it again in a Christian language; I have not yet had time to look at it..." Darwin's correspondent, W. Ogle, had apparently sent the scientist a copy of his new translation of a work by Kerner von Marilaun, Schutzmittel der Blüten gegen unberufene Gästen [The defenses of flowers against unbidden guests], published in 1878. Apparently, Darwin was already familiar with the work in its German form.
