My dear Sir

I am very much obliged for your kind present of your work on the anatomy of leaves, which I will soon read.1 The Plates strike me as wonderfully good, like Photographs, but clearer.—

Pray remember me kindly to your honoured Father2 & believe me, my dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | Charles Darwin
