From J. W. Judd   28 August 1880

14 Auriol Road, | West Kensington | W.

28th. August 1880

Dear Mr. Darwin,

I send you by book-post a copy of Whitaker’s paper on sea-cliffs & Escarpments.1 As I have a duplicate copy, please not to trouble to return it. I hope the fatigue of conversation yesterday has not left any ill-effects.2 To me it is such a pleasure to listen to the words of suggestion and sympathy from a father in Science, that I fear I may have forgotten the danger in my eagerness at the time.

Yours very faithfully, | John W. Judd

Judd had visited CD on 27 August; CD had warned him that he could only talk for a limited time (see letter to J. W. Judd, 25 August [1880]).
