From James Crichton-Browne   12 September 1873

West Riding Asylum, | Wakefield.

12th. Sept. 1873.

My dear Sir,

I have just returned from Germany and found your note of the 7th. Inst. which I regard as the highest compliment that could possible be paid to our volume of Reports.1 If the work has interested you it must have merit.

I presume there is no chance of your being at the British Association Meeting at Bradford.2 Should you however contemplate a visit to the North I hope you will not pass Wakefield without calling upon me.

With the greatest respect, | I am, | Yours most faithfully | J. Crichton Browne

Charles Darwin Esq | &c &c

See letter to James Crichton-Browne, 7 September [1873] and n. 2. Crichton-Browne had evidently sent CD the third volume of the West Riding Lunatic Asylum Medical Reports.
