Footnotes
The date is established by the relationship between this letter and the letter from Emile Alglave, 13 January 1877.
See letter from Emile Alglave, 13 January 1877 and n. 2. Alglave evidently sent CD a copy of Delboeuf 1877, but it is missing from the Darwin Pamphlet Collection–CUL. CD did make a note of it, however, in his list of abstracts of quarto pamphlets (DAR 75: 99). CD evidently drafted this letter for his son Francis Darwin to write.
In his letter of 13 January 1877, Alglave asked CD to contribute an article or letter with his thoughts on Delboeuf 1877.
Bibliography

Summary
Has not seen Delboeuf’s article [see 10786] and would be obliged for a copy. He is not likely to have any comments as he is engaged in other work.
