My dear Sir
I am very much obliged to you for your great kindness in having sent me the new edition of your work ‘The Andes &c.’ which I see is much enlarged. I have no doubt that it will interest me as much as did the first edition. I have re-read with pride the dedication which is so honourable to me.1
You shew wonderful spirit in going again to the Amazon & I sincerely hope that you may be in every way successful.
My dear Sir | yours very faithfully | Charles Darwin
