- … Catherine & Susan are at present staying with Erasmus in London, & perhaps I shall go up & see them next week. I have been very little in London of late, & have not seen Lyell since his return from America: how lucky he was to exhume with his own hand parts of 3 skeletons of Reptiles out of the Carboniferous strata, & out of the inside of a fossil tree, which had been hollow within! Farewell | My dear Fox | Your’s affectionately | Charles Darwin …
