My dear Bentham
I write one line to thank you for your very kind note, & for arranging about my paper & for your Photograph.2 The photograph hardly does you justice, though like.
Pray believe me | Yours very sincerely | Charles Darwin
P.S. As my movements are never very certain, if I do not appear at the Socy. on Thursday Evening the Secretary must read my paper, but I will certainly attend if I am well.—3
