Down, Beckenham, Kent.
Dec 4 1875
Sir
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your very obliging letter of November the 28th together with the Diploma of the “Reale Accademia de Lincei”.1
I request that you will inform the Academy how deeply I feel the distinguished honour of being elected a Foreign Associate.
It is peculiarly gratifying to me to have been thus honoured by the chief Scientific Society of the Italian nation in the eternal city of Rome.
With the greatest respect I beg leave to remain, | Sir | Your obedient & grateful servant | Charles R. Darwin
Al Presidente | R. Accad. de’Lincei
