Dear Sir
I am much obliged to you for your kind note.—1 All such facts as that which you have communicated to me, are interesting, & there is indeed hardly any fact in natural history which deserves to be called little. Now that you mention the case, I am almost sure that I have somewhere seen the same appearance in horses; but I am not likely ever again to write on the variation of domesticated animals.—2
Dear Sir | yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
