Novr 2 1881
Dear Sir
I take the liberty of sending you a slip containing a notice of your last volume, which our proprietors did me the honour of requesting me to write—1 I regret that the notice is not more worthy of the subject but the exigencies of time and space are not to be denied.
Among the most pleasing recollections of my past life are those of the time when I had the honour and the pleasure of assisting you very slightly in the matter of variation.—2 and it seems like the resuscitation of old and pleasant times to be again brought into connexion with your work in however distant a mode
Believe me | Very faithfully | yours | W B Tegetmeier
C Darwin Esq
