Dec 23
Dear Sir
I am much obliged to you for sending me your paper which I shall probably receive by tomorrow’s post.2 I should have been very sorry to have missed seeing it, which might have happened as I do not take in the Ibis.3 I had already seen Mr. Crotch’s paper.4 I am particularly glad to hear that you intend to work up all the materials into a single paper & draw your own conclusions, for that certainly is the way to gain valuable results.5
Believe me dear Sir | yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
