Jan. 10th
Dear Sir
I am much obliged for your very kind offer of sending me the Garden.2 I have great scruples in accepting it, partly because I have not much strength for reading & can hardly get through the periodicals which I now take in & papers which I must read.— But I will gratefully accept your offer for the next half-year ie. till July 1st., & then if I find that I have time generally to read it, I will take it in for myself.— I wish that I had more strength.—
Dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
I perfectly remember your pleasant visit here.—3
