To Francis Darwin 27 December [1880]1
[Down.]
My dear F.
I think that you have told everything important in your abstract in an excellent manner.2 Every part is as clear as daylight.—
Pray give my kindest remembrances to Marshall, Marshall & Co.— No, this is too impudent, give my kindest remembrances to them as simple Christians3
Ever yours affect | C. D
