Ap 29. 1877

Dear Sir,

I am much obliged to you for your kindness in having sent me your ‘Théorie du Fatalisme’.1 The subject is a most difficult one, but must interest greatly every person who ever reflects on his own existence, or that of the universe.

I hope soon to read your work, & I remain, | Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
