Bassett, Southampton

Sept. 1. 75

Dear Dr. Fayrer

I am very much obliged for your present just received.1 I have always felt a strange interest about the Tiger & shall be very glad to read your book.— Thanks for your offer of assistance in India, but I have at present no enquiry to make.—2

Your expedition with the Prince will be I shd. think most interesting & splendid.3

Pray believe me | Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
