Title
Charles Darwin to John Murray (29th September, 1870)
Description
Darwin queries which part of his manuscript Murray considered “coarse”, confirming in the process that a section on female sexual desire was not his work but a quote from John Hunter’s Essays and Observations on Natural History (1861).
