Down, Bromley, Kent

Jan: 29th.

My dear Cresy

Cordial thanks for your extremely kind note which has pleased me much, and will please George when he sees it.2

His success did give us very great pleasure, for we hardly ventured to hope for so high a place.

Believe me | Yours very sincerely | Charles Darwin
