To Herbert Spencer [after 22 September 1881]1
[Down.]
My dear Mr Spencer,
Although I agree wholly or almost wholly with the object of your league, yet I do not like joining such a body, until seeing how it works, more especially as I could never attend its meetings, & shd never be able to converse with any of its members.2
I do not feel that I have knowledge sufficient to form a good judgment on any political subjects.
I remain, my dear Mr Spencer | yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin
