My dear Lyell
I am greatly obliged to you for having sent me the extract from the American paper.2 How beautiful and true it is, & how well expressed.
It is delightful to see a noble character so well appreciated in a distant land. Again I thank you, and hope that you are pretty well.
Believe me | Your affectionate old pupil | Charles Darwin
