To James Geikie 27 November 1880
Down | Beckenham, Kent. (&c).
Novr 27th. 1880
My dear Sir.
I received this morning your magnificent Book, & I thank you cordially. Before long I will read it, & have no doubt that it will give me as much or more pleasure than your Great Ice Age—1 It delights me that you should have thought my notion about frozen snow & drift worth insertion.2
Believe me | My dear Sir | Yours very faithfully & obliged | Charles Darwin.
