Down, | Beckenham, Kent.

May 9th

My dear Sir

Very many thanks,— I can quite believe your very curious anecdote about the Dog.2 Such cases are wonderful. But I do not at present intend to amplify the parts in question of my book;3 though I am very glad to have heard of so striking a case.

With many thanks | Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
