May 6. 1863
Dear Sir
Illness has prevented me from sooner thanking you for your very kind present of your “Der Mensch” &c for which I am very much obliged.2 As I am far from strong I have as yet only cut the pages, but I can see that you have produced a full & valuable history of the subject & the search after such ample materials must have cost you much labour.
With my best thanks I beg leave to remain | Dear Sir yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
