From Hermann Kindt 24 November 1865
Bampton, Penrith
24. Nov. 1865.
Dear Sir,
I am obliged for your so kindly sending the three letters of Dr. Darwin, two of which I have already returned to Miss Meteyard.1 I have kept the one relating to the French gentleman, which seemed to me the most interesting of the three.2 A long and interesting letter of Mr. Wedgwood (Josiah) appeared in the II. volume of our publication, and I beg, therefore, to thank you for your kind intention.3 I am glad you like the reproduction of your own handwriting and only regret the two misprints.4 I do not correct the proofs on account of the great distance, etc.5
With best wishes for your health, believe me to remain, | ever your’s faithfully | Hermann Kindt
Charles Darwin, M.A. Esq.
