To Federico Delpino   25 April 1876

Down, | Beckenham, Kent.

April 25th/76

My dear Sir

I thank you very sincerely for having sent me your Rivista Botanica.1 I have looked through all the headings & puzzled out the general bearings, & have had some portions translated to me. It is a very useful publication & I much wish that I could read it all. I observe, that as on many previous occasions you heap much honour on my head.

Believe me with great respect, my dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin

Summary

Thanks FD for the volumes of Revista Botanica [1874–5].
