From Coquimbo you will again hear from me.
LETTER 7.

TO J.S.HENSLOW.

Lima, July 12th, 1835.
This is the last letter which I shall ever write to you from the shores of America, and for this reason I send it.

In a few days time the "Beagle" will sail for the Galapagos Islands.

I look forward with joy and interest to this, both as being somewhat nearer to England and for the sake of having a good look at an active volcano.
