Dear Sir
I thank you for your note of July 4th and I apologise for having kept the valuable tables so long, but I was very busy on another subject till lately.1 I remember the first paper which you & Mr Lawes were so kind as to send me, but I never saw the second one.2 The results seem to me extremely curious, and I am astonished at the immense amount of conscientious work which they must have cost you. I have registered the letter so that there may be no chance of the Tables being lost, and with my thanks I remain dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
P.S I hope I may be permitted to add that I have just finished reading with great interest the memoirs of Mrs Gilbert3
