To Friedrich Max Müller 15 October [1875]1
Down
Oct 15
My dear Sir
I am greatly obliged to you for so kindly sending me your essay, which I am sure will interest me much.2 With respect to our differences, though some of your remarks have been rather stinging they have all been made so gracefully I declare that I am like the man in the story who boasted that he had been soundly horsewhipped by a Duke!3
Pray believe me | Yours very sincerely | Charles Darwin
