My dear Sir

I am much obliged for the information about the Terrier & for your kind promise to observe the size of your dogs with advancing age.—²

I have written to M^r Wright to thank him for his courtesy; & have asked him nearly the same questions as I asked you.—³ But I do not suppose I shall continue to attend to domestic animals, except so far as they illustrate points in the Nat. Hist. of wild animals.—⁴

Believe me | with my best thanks | Yours very faithfully | C. Darwin
