To T. L. Brunton 28 April 1879
Down | Beckenham Kent.
Ap. 28 1879
My dear Sir
I thank you cordially for your note & the journal & return it by this same post.1 I have copied out the passage marked, & have looked to the Zoonomia: It certainly seems a good instance of Dr. D’s acute power of observation.2 Should you have anything further to communicate I shall be truly obliged.
My Dear Sir | yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
P.S. I have been out of luck in not finding you at home when I called there two times when last in London—3 But I called only for the pleasure of 10 minutes conversation—
