My dear Sir
A German friend lately asked me for a complete copy of my publications; & I have thought it best to send you a copy, though fuller than you require.—2 I am sure that I feel very grateful & much honoured by the interest which you have taken about my election.— I saw in one of our newspapers the number of votes which I obtained & which I owe to you, & the number was far higher than I had expected.3
With very sincere respect & cordial thanks, I remain | Yours very truly obliged | Ch. Darwin
