July 4th
My dear Sir
I must thank you for your extraordinary kindness to me about Corallorhiza.2 Mr Watson forwarded to me your note to him3 & he suggested Prof. Balfour to whom I have written.4 I fear that there is no chance of my succeeding; but I am sure I am not the less obliged to you for your great kindness.—
My dear Sir | Yours truly obliged | Charles Darwin
