My dear Sir

I must trouble you with a few lines to thank you for sending me your very interesting essay on Insectivorous Plants, & for the excellent resumé of my observations. But beyond every thing else I must express my cordial thanks for the highly honourable manner in which you speak of my works, & which has gratified me much.1

With much respect | I remain, my dear Sir. | yours very faithfully | Charles Darwin

The interesting essay may have been an anonymous review of Insectivorous plants in Revue scientifique de la France et de l’étranger, 27 May 1876, pp. 505–13. There is a copy in the Darwin Pamphlet Collection–CUL. The review may have been written by Emile Alglave, as he was a correspondent of CD’s and an editor of the Revue.
