May 1st
Dear Sir Roderick Murchison
I am much obliged for your kind note & for forwarding to me Count Keyserling’s note2— I am pleased by it, for I look at any good geologist & palæontologist going one inch with me as more important than a naturalist going two or three inches.—
Pray believe me | Yours sincerely | Charles Darwin
