March 9th 1880
My dear Sir
I have forwarded your letter to ‘Nature’ with a private one to the Editor & another which he can publish if he thinks fit.2 Your letter, though I believe quite just, is rather fierce, & whether the Editor will publish it, I do not at all know.— I hope that he may.— It is most wonderful & interesting that native Japanese gentlemen shd. have aided you in your very interesting researches.—3
In Haste— Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin.
