My dear Cousin

I overlooked the enclosed, which you will like to add to the others—² Pray do not take trouble to acknowledge it—

Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin

P.S. Did you ever hear your father tell a story about a high-way robber & our grandfather.³ The Miss Galtons say that he visited the man in prison and heard why he did not rob our grandfather. Mrs. Nixon seems to know nothing of this latter part of story, and thinks that our grandfather only suspected that the man intended to rob him.⁴

If I receive no answer I shall understand that you know nothing about it. I am sure that my father told some story on subject, but my memory is utterly vague.
