My dear Sir

You have, as usual, answered my query distinctly & fully.¹ Pray thank your informants for the information which I was very anxious to obtain. I believe “Stonehenge” is the brother of the late M^r Walsh of the U. States, for whom I felt great respect, & whose loss is much to be deplored.²

I am very sorry to hear about your state of health, & I sincerely hope it may soon improve. Thanks for the article about the hairy men: I rec^d some time ago, from Prof. Brandt of S^t Petersburg, an account of them.³

Believe me | yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
