With Kind Regards, & many thanks for Prof. Steenstrup’s Photograph,2 which is most highly valued by

C. Darwin

Down, Bromley, Kent, May 23d—

The year is conjectured from the relationship between this letter and the letter to Japetus Steenstrup, 11 September 1876 (Calendar no. 10594), which states that CD received Steenstrup’s photograph a year or two ago.

Steenstrup’s photograph has not been found in the Darwin Archive–CUL. He had provided specimens for CD’s research on fossil and living cirripedes (see Correspondence vols. 4 and 5, and Correspondence vol. 7, Supplement).
