Dear Sir,
I beg leave to thank you for having so kindly sent me your interesting articles in which you give some account of the noble Testimonial I have lately had the pleasure of receiving from Germany1 I also thank you heartily for the gratifying & eulogistic manner in which you mention my name The number of distinguished men who have done me the honour to contribute their portraits, is rendered very striking by arranging (them as you have done) under their various universities2
Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
