Gentlemen
I am very much obliged for your kind present of the new edition of Brehm’s Thier leben, The illustrations are admirable; but it wd be superfluous in me to express any opinion on this work, as I have plainly shewn in my Descent of Man how much I have profited by it, & how much I value it.1
With my best thanks I remain Gentlemen | your obliged servant | Charles Darwin
