My dear Sir
I am very much obliged to you for your kindness in sending me Part I of your Spicilegia biologica, which contains your many valuable papers.1 I read most of them when they first appeared, but not all; & I shall be glad of the opportunity of looking at them again.
With my best thanks, pray believe me, yours sincerely | Charles Darwin
