From T. L. Brunton 5 December 1879
50, Welbeck Street, | Cavendish Square. W.
Decr. 5th. 1879
My dear Sir
On my return from my wedding tour I found the life of Dr. Erasmus Darwin which you had so kindly sent to me.1 For it I beg to return you my best thanks and at the same time to express my regret that I was unable to get the information you wished.2 I must also apologise for my delay in thanking you but I can assure you that it was not because I did not appreciate your gift Indeed to tell the truth it was the difficulty I felt in expressing myself rightly which led me to delay writing to you while I finished off the small letters which required no thought.
Again I thank you most sincerely & remain | Yours faithfully & obliged | T Lauder Brunton
C. Darwin Esq
