To Thomas Davidson 7 April 1873
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. [16 Montague Street, London]
Ap. 7 1873
My dear Sir
I am much obliged for your kind invitation, & for the catalogue of your wonderful collection of Cretacean Fossils.1 There are few things that I should enjoy more than seeing the Brighton Aquarium & accepting your invitation; but I have found by repeated experience that I cannot visit any where.
Your instance of inheritance is very curious & I am fully prepared to entirely accept it.
My dear Sir | yours faithfully & obliged | Ch. Darwin
