Sunday Evening
My dear Mr. Horner
I received your note with Lepsius’ memorandum this morning & most cordially do I thank you for it.2 It is most valuable to me as I shall now know where to look & I had never even heard of the work referred to.—3 Should you write to Lepsius pray give him my most sincere & respectful thanks.4
Your’s most truly | Ch. Darwin5
