My dear Sir
I thank you cordially for your most kind present of your “Studien &c”.— I look forward with extreme curiosity to learn the meaning of the wonderful and beautiful pictures of caterpillars, and I have no doubt that you will throw much light on this subject as you have on every one which you have investigated.1
With the greatest respect, I remain | Yours faithfully and obliged | Charles Darwin
