My dear M
I venture to send you the enclosed prospectus of the
forthcoming work by my brother and M

Believe me | Faithfully yours | Roland Trimen

Trimen paraphrases the notice of A journey of Brazil (Agassiz and Agassiz 1868) that appeared in Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science, and Art for 8 February 1868, p. 184: `It is, indeed, the only objection to be raised against his scientific zeal that he seems to have gone out with a preconceived determination to find evidence against Mr. Darwin's theories.'
