From H. N. Moseley   7 November 1876

My dear Sir

Very many thanks for your kind letter and invitation to dine with you and sleep a night at your house.¹

It will be the very greatest honour and pleasure to me to have the opportunity of a personal interview with you.

I attend a meeting of the Linnean Society on Nov 16^th in London. If the 17^th or 18^th would suit you I could come then or I would come at any other time which might be more convenient.

I am sorry if from my letter I led you to suppose that I believed in any such thing as Physiognomy²   I merely thought that observations on the details of the face made by physiognomists for their own purposes might possibly prove interesting by drawing attention to features occurring in Japanese faces which might otherwise be overlooked.

I am | yours truly | H N Moseley.

Charles Darwin Esq FRS.
