I thank you much for so kindly sending me a whole collection of your writings— I feel altogether unworthy of them, excepting in so far as the subjects which you discuss yourself interest me, notwithstanding my ignorance1
Believe me | yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
I have just published a little book wh. I fear will hardly interest you, but I will send a copy by this post—2
