My dear Sir William

I send the enclosed, to me most interesting, letter¹ thinking that you would like to see it. There is so much complimentary to myself in it, than on any other grounds I ought not to send it. Will you be so good as to forward it when you have done with it to Prof. Henslow.— Does not your son give a capital motto for a Book on Geology?—²

I hope Lady & Miss Hooker are quite well;—pray remember me to them & believe me.— | Yours’ sincerely | C. Darwin
