From C. E. Fry 13 September 1878
Baker St No. 55
Sept 13. 78.
Sir
By book post I send you a little packet containing a series of seven photographs of a little boy: they are curious & may be interesting to you showing change of expression
The photographs were taken one after the other in sequence as numbered. The child is a singularly simple minded and unaffected little boy. & the pictures show curiously how the little chap is striving in his mind to keep still & yet not to be so grave as in the last1
I beg Sir that you will retain & accept them if the photos are of any interest to you
I am Sir | Yours truly | Clarence E. Fry | Elliott & Fry2
Charles Darwin Esq
