I have a letter from Dr. B Grassi in which he says he will be glad to work over the Challenger Sagitta. Will you kindly get one of your assistants to carefully pick out the bottles and tubes with the Sagitta, pack || them up with case and address them to
Dr. B. Grassi
Rovellasca
Linea Milano. Como.
I wish you would prepay the box with the specimens, and send me a note of how much the carriage costs, and also a note any expenses connected || with the box packing &c. so that I may send you the amount. I'll feel greatly obliged if you will have this attended to when convenient: – there is no immediate hurry and would you send me a note when they have been sent off. I enclose a note of the specimens which have been sent to you. With || best remembrances
