To Maxwell Tylden Masters 26 February [1862]1
Down Bromley
Feb. 26th.
My dear Sir
I am much obliged to you for sending me your article, which I have just read with much interest.2 The History and a good deal besides was quite new to me. It seems to me capitally done, and so clearly written. You really ought to write your larger work. You speak too generously of my Book; but I must confess that you have pleased me not a little; for no one, as far as I know, has ever remarked on what I say on classification,—a part, which when I wrote it, pleased me.3
With many thanks to you for sending me your article, pray believe me | My dear Sir | Yours sincerely | C. Darwin
