Down, | Beckenham, Kent.

July 15, ’73

Gentlemen,

I am very much obliged to you for having sent me your three essays.1 Although the subject is beyond my scope, nevertheless your investigations seem to me the most important & interesting of any which I have read for a very long time.

With my sincere respect & hopes for your continued success | I remain Gentlemen | Yours very faithfully | Charles Darwin
