To William Turner 24 [December 1866]1
Down, Bromley, Kent.
24th.
My dear Sir,
I have been working so hard to get a certain job done that I have neglected to thank you sooner for your note of Dec 15th., which contained much of the very information which I wanted—2 If hereafter you can give me any more information about rudimentary parts in man, & allow me to quote you, I shall be truly obliged—
I have received your paper on the gestation of Arius but have not yet read it from same reason that has made me delay thanking you; but I have now got it out & will read it this evening, for I can see that the subject is a very curious one—3
With cordial thanks | Believe me | Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
