My dear Sir
I am very much obliged for your kind & courteous note.1 Writing is so laborious to me & loses so much time, that during many years I have resolved never to write in periodicals, & I am sorry to say that I cannot break my resolution, as it wd. make my declining the next time that I am asked; much more difficult.—2
Believe me my dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
