Dear Sir

I hope that you will be so good as to inform M. Cosserat how greatly pleased I am with the appearance of the translation which he has done me the honour to make of my book on Coral-reefs.—2 I further beg to thank you for having sent me a copy.—

I have the honour to remain | Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
