ABSTRACT
Woodbury sent Charles Darwin a sample of the newly invented comb foundation some time between 1860 and 1870, and Darwin's reply is in the IBRA Library.
I thought and still think that I wrote to thank you for the artificial comb, which interested me much; but if you did not get a letter, it must have been lost or I did not write it. With apologies, Dear Sir, and my best thanks,
Yours very faithfully , C. Darwin.
