My dear Sir,

I have just received the copy of your most interesting volume which you have so kindly sent me.1 The subject is new and important

Please to accept my best thanks for the gift. You will be glad to learn that I am much improved in health of late. Sleep has completely returned. I am at present on my way to winter in some warm and sheltered place in the South of England, where I can live cheaply2

I am | Yours sincerely— | James Croll
