May 8th

Esteemed Sir

I have much pleasure in sending photographs of Sir C. Lyell & Professor Owen, who I think are generally considered our most distinguished natural philosophers.2 I also enclose, according to your desire a photograph of myself.

With my best wishes for the success of your institution & with much respect I have the honour to remain

yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
