In two or three days I set out for Coquimbo by land; the "Beagle" calls for me in the beginning of June.

So that I have six weeks more to enjoy geologising over these curious mountains of Chili.

There is at present a bloody revolution in Peru.

The Commodore has gone there, and in the hurry has carried our letters with him; perhaps amongst them there will be one from you.

I wish I had the old Commodore here, I would shake some consideration for others into his old body.
