To George Harris 12 February 1874
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
Feb 12— 1874
Dear Sir
I am much obliged for your extremely kind letter.1 I have read the proof sheets, but have no criticisms worth sending.2 I am however not sure that I fully agree with you on all points. On so obscure a subject as the distinction between actions performed through instinct, habit & intellect, I suppose that hardly two men would fully agree.
With my best wishes that your new work may be in every way successful I remain dear Sir | yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
