To Charles Boner [before 8 January 1870]
Summary
Has received [read?] CB’s two works [Chamois hunting in the mountains of Bavaria (2d ed., 1860) and Forest creatures (1871)] and has made use of them in his present book [Descent].
CB’s descriptions of the Tyrol make CD long to be "strong and young again to ramble over the mountains".
