Dear Sir

I thank you for your very kind note & for sending me the interesting case of inheritance, which I have been glad to see, though it is not likely that I shall again write on the subject1

Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Charles Darwin

Garrison’s letter has not been found; the case of inheritance has not been identified. CD had collected reports of cases of inheritance of acquired characters when he was working on Variation, Descent, and Expression.
