From H. H. Bancroft 3 August 1874
Mr Charles Darwin
Dear Sir
Will you do me the honor to accept the volume herewith sent,—and those that are to follow—prepared in the hope that they might prove not wholly valueless to those who make mankind a study1
Could I indulge in the further hope that in this poor gift some slight return is made for the immense benefit which by your writings you have conferred upon me, the thought would be indeed most gratifying
very Respy | Hubert Bancroft
San Francisco Cal. | 3rd. Aug. 1874
