Dec. 27, 1879.

Mr. Charles Darwin.

Dear Sir.

Knowing your authority on the theory of evolution as relating to man, I take the liberty of of asking you if you will be so kind as to give me a list of books on the subject, such as a person desiring to cover the entire ground may need.1

By doing this you will greatly oblige | your very sincerely | Charles E. Ferguson
