To Octavius Pickard-Cambridge 26 August [1878]
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | Railroad Station | Orpington. S.E.R.
Aug 26
My dear Sir.
Fritz Müller (whose name no doubt you know) resides in S. Brazil— He is, I believe, about the most acute observer in the world, & I have always found him most kind & obliging.— His address is “Blumenau St. Catharina Brazil” (Postage 6d stamps)
If you write, I hope that you will not object to quote from me, that I sent the specimens to you “as knowing far more about Spiders than any other man in Britain”. He might be surprised at my at once sending them away.—1
Yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin.
