Dear Sir,

I am much obliged for your essay on the plants of Attica, & for your very kind & courteous letter. Should I ever require any information with respect to the plants of Greece, I will remember your very obliging offer.1 I have lately published a book which you do not possess, & which I will do myself the pleasure of directing my publisher to send you.2

I remain, dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Charles Darwin.
