Dear Darwin,
Madame Michelet, widow of the French historian Jules Michelet, writes to me to try if there are not some readers of his in England who would contribute to the tomb she is raising over his grave in Père la Chaise And she mentions your father as the Englishman whom Michelet most venerated, & of whom he oftenest spoke. She is very desirous that I should try to get his cooperation in the tribute of respect. Can you tell me if your father at all reciprocated the admiration of the old poet. Carlyle, whom I have seen, approves of the scheme & will contribute
Yours ever truly | Frederic Harrison
