To M. T. Masters   [after 25 November 1880]1

Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.

My dear Sir

I must write one line to thank you for your kind note.— I had great misgivings about Chatin, & I much wish that I had recollected your article; but it is now too late. I assumed that Chatin was quite trust worthy.2

Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
