My dear Sir
I thank you warmly for your letter.—1 I can assure you that I did not require any word from you to be perfectly convinced of your very kind feelings towards me, & of your estimation of what I have been able to do in Science, which is far higher than I deserve.
Believe me Dear Sir | With much respect | Yours very faithfully | Charles Darwin
