Summary:
Thanks ID for interesting and curious facts but doubts that he will have time to enter more closely into the subject of the intellect of animals.
Nothing would give CD more "pleasure & interest" than to see ID’s country, "now so great & destined to be so much greater", but he is quite incapable of "so great an exertion as crossing the Atlantic".
