Dear Sir

I am much obliged to you for your kindness in sending me the interesting fact communicated in your letter.1

I have not heard of any such case in the human family, but have long suspected that many grey coloured animals have thus originated.

With my best thanks, pray believe me | Dear Sir, yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
