From Joseph Fayrer 31 August 1875
India Office 16 Granville Place.
31 August 1875
Dear Mr. Darwin
I have the pleasure of sending a little book in which you will perhaps find something that may interest you. May I beg you to do me the honor of accepting it It was written from notes made during my travels and is meant more for general than scientific readers.1
But it contains facts in the natural history of the Tiger that may atone for its defects.
I hope you are well!
Believe me— | Yours very truly | J. Fayrer—
P.S. | I am going to India with the Prince of Wales on 11 Octr—& shall be away probably till May 1876.
Can I do anything to be of service to you.?2
