Decr. 7th. 1875
Dear Sir
May I beg the addition of your name to the enclosed application. Mr. Croll suggests that you might be willing perhaps to head the “General Knowledge” column.1 If you do so you will greatly gratify him and do a service to one who I am sure is deserving of the honour.
Yours very truly | Arch Geikie
Charles Darwin Esq
