Sir
I beg permission to return my most sincere thanks to the R. Bavarian Academy for the great honour which has been conferred on me by my election as one of the Foreign Members.—1 I feel this distinguished honour all the more as Munich has produced so many magnificent contributions to Science.—
I further thank you for your extremely kind letter, & remain with the highest respect | Sir | Your much obliged & obedient servant | Charles Darwin
