My dear Darwin

I venture to send you an Address I lately gave; but I am anxious to explain to you that it was not intended for the teaching of any natural history— It was only to point to things in which members of my profession, especially the younger and less busy, may study pathology.1 And it had to be talked for an hour.

Sincerely your’s | James Paget.
