Dear Sir

I beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of the very handsome Diploma of your Society, & to repeat my thanks for the honour conferred on me.1 According to your request I enclose my photograph, & I have directed my publisher to send a copy of my Origin of Species2 to the Society as I suppose that this is the best of my works.

I have the honour to remain, | Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
