To Hyacinth Hooker 10 September [1881]1
Down Beckenham
Sept. 10th
My dear Lady Hooker.
Very many thanks for the newspaper, which has amused us & perplexes us who the author could have been. What difficult French the gentleman writes & some of the expressions no one in this house could translate.—2
I am very glad that York answered so brilliantly.—3
Yours faithfully & obliged | Charles Darwin
The paper shall be forwarded tomorrow—
