My dear Sir
I thank you for your very friendly letter, and can assure you that I often look back with pleasure to the old days when I attended to pigeons & fowls, & when you assisted me with such unwearied kindness.1 As it may help you to get up the required number of 100, please to put my name down for two copies, but you need send me only one.2
I heartily wish you success in all your undertakings, & remain yours sincerely. | Charles Darwin
