To Leonard Jenyns   18 April [1858]1

Down Bromley Kent

Ap. 18th

My dear Jenyns

I write one line to say your M.S. has come safely & to thank you much for it.—2 I shall take unopened to my Hydropathic Establishment & read it there & then or soon afterwards return it.—3

In Haste. Farewell with thanks. Ever yours truly | C. Darwin

I have read a good deal more of your Book & like it much.—4
