To T. L. Brunton   10 March 1880

Down | Beckenham. Kent—

Mar. 10/80

My dear Sir

I am very much obliged for your kind present of your Pharmacology, which I am sure that I shall read with interest. All medical subjects fascinate me, owing I suppose to so much doctorial blood flowing in my veins—1

yours very sincerely | Charles Darwin
