Dear Sir
I am greatly obliged to you for the present of your Work on Lacerta muralis cœrulea with its beautiful illustrations. I can see enough of the drift of your observations to feel sure that the subject will interest me greatly1
With much respect | I am yours dear Sir | faithfully | Charles Darwin
Post Scriptum | The enclosed was unfortunately sent by mistake to a French publisher2 May I ask you to be so very good (if it is not destroyed) as to return the letter which I presume you have received & which must have puzzled you
