To C. F. Claus 9 July 1876
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
July 9. 1876
My dear Sir
I have received your most kind present. Your book looks remarkably handsome, & I never saw any thing more admirable than the plates at the end.1 I hope before long to read much of it, though the German language is slow work for me. I am particularly anxious to see what you say on the developement and genealogy of the Crustacea, and on the position of the Cirrepedia.2 Allow me to assure you that I feel very strongly the great honour of your dedication to me of so great a work.3
With the most cordial thanks & respect, I remain my dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | Charles Darwin
