To M. T. Masters [after 25 November 1880]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.
My dear Sir
I must write one line to thank you for your kind note.— I had great misgivings about Chatin, & I much wish that I had recollected your article; but it is now too late. I assumed that Chatin was quite trust worthy.2
Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
