My dear Sir,

I have had a letter today from Mr. Charles Darwin, beseeching me to obtain for him a copy of your paper on Glenroy.¹ I am sure you will have pleasure in sending him one—his address is “Down, Farnborough, Kent”. I have again read over your paper carefully, and feel assured that the careful collection and statement of facts which are found in it must redound to your credit with all candid persons. The suspicions however, which I obtained some time ago as to land-straits and heights of country being connected with sea margins and their ordinary memorials still possesses me, and I am looking forward to some means of further testing the Glenroy mystery.² If my suspicion turn out true, I shall at once be regretful on your account, and shall feel it as a great check and admonition to myself not to be too confident about anything in science till it has been proved over and over again. The ground hereabouts is now getting clear of the crops—perhaps when I am in Town a few days hence we may be able to make some appointment for an examination of the beaches of the district, my list of which has been greatly enlarged during the last two months.

Believe me, | My dear Sir, | always sincerely yours | R. Chambers.
