Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | (Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.)

Jan 19th. 1879.—

My dear Sir

I am particularly glad to possess your photograph, as I was wishing a few weeks ago to add it to my collection.— I have the pleasure to enclose my own.—1

I am very glad to hear that your work is popular in France. From being pressed by other work, I have not yet had time to read it.—2

With much respect | Yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
