Ap. 26/76/

Dear Sir

I am much obliged for your note & the very kind wish to aid me, together with the M.S. notes.1 As far as I can see I do not intend to work again on the subjects on which I have published, but reserve the little thought which is left me for somewhat new matter.

Believe me | Dear Sir | Yours faithfully & obliged | Charles Darwin

Footnotes

The letter from Harting and the manuscript notes have not been found, but they probably dealt with zoological subjects.
