To Maria [1871–82]1
Dear Madam—
I am sorry to say that I can not spare the time to discuss the many abstruse points touched on in your letter.— Nor do I understand fully on what subject you require information.— I may add that my belief is not nearly so [sure], as you suppose2
Madam | your obed sert | Ch. Darwin
