To Anton de Bary 11 February 1879

Down, | Beckenham, Kent.

Feb 11. 1879

Dear Sir

I have often received from various writers copies of the Bot: Zeitung; but lately they have come so regularly that I think I must be indebted to you for them.¹ I assure you that I fully appreciate your kindness & the honour which you have thus done me. But I write to beg you not to send them in future as I regularly take in this your invaluable publication; & have procured the volumes from the commencement.

With the highest respect | I remain dear Sir | yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
