Dear Sir

I am much obliged to you for having sent me your Lecture, which seems to me a wonderfully clear & interesting sketch of the lower organisms.—2

Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin

1
The year is established by the reference to Williamson’s lecture (see n. 2, below).
2
Williamson evidently sent a copy of his lecture ‘The dawn of animal life’, which was delivered on 2 March 1875 (W. C. Williamson 1875). CD’s copy has not been found.
