From Frithiof Holmgren 26 May 1881
Upsala
26 Mai 1881
Dear Sir
Your last kind letter with the photograf made me a very happy surprise.1 I thank you most heartily for them both. The will be kept as dear memory of a man, who did not feel too grand on his own point of scientific eminence to strech his hand to a more humble workman in the same service.2
Your distinguished kindness will also serve to give greater force to my small power in our great battle for the True and the Just in this world.
I beg you to be assured of my heartfelt gratitude and affection | yours | Frithiof Holmgren
Mr. Charles Darwin Esq. | F.R.S. London
