Dear Sir
I have now read your paper, & I hope that you will not think me presumptuous in writing another line to say how excellent it seems to me.— I believe that you have largely solved the problem of the affinities of the inhabitants of this most interesting little island, & this is a delightful triumph.—2
Dear Sir Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin.
