To W. B. Tegetmeier   20 March 1879

My dear Sir

I thank you for your very friendly letter, and can assure you that I often look back with pleasure to the old days when I attended to pigeons & fowls, & when you assisted me with such unwearied kindness.¹ As it may help you to get up the required number of 100, please to put my name down for two copies, but you need send me only one.²

I heartily wish you success in all your undertakings, & remain yours sincerely. | Charles Darwin
