Dear Sir
I am much obliged to you for your great kindness in having sent me your work “Die Welt &c”, which I hope soon to read, but I am to my great grief a very poor German scholar & a book in that language takes me a very long time.2
With much respect, Dear Sir | Yours faithfully & obliged | Charles Darwin
