My dear Mr. Moseley
I earnestly hope that you may be elected Linacre Professor at Oxford, for from my knowledge of your several works & from personal acquaintance with you, I am convinced that no other Zoologist in Grt Britain, who is competent to be a candidate, is so well fitted for the place & so likely to advance natural science in Oxford.1
I remain, Yours very sincerely | Charles Darwin
