June 25th 1881—
Dear Sir
I must write one line to thank you very sincerely for your kind expressions about me, which are far stronger than I deserve.1
I congratulate you on your interesting discovery of the Mastodon remains.—2 I hope that the study of natural History may give your daughter a large share of the satisfaction which the study has given me.—3
Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
