Dec. 21st
My dear Dr. Ogle
Many thanks for your paper, which I shall be particularly glad soon to read.1
It was lucky for me that I gave you the “severe reprimand” about the paging!2 Thanks, also, about the Platysma. I have asked several persons to observe this troublesome muscle, during a shivering fit, but all have failed.3 I am very much obliged to you for your kindness to my son, Francis, who has told me of several interesting conversations which he has had with you.4
Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
