To E. H. Sieveking 11 December 1877
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.
Dec 11. 1877
Dear Sir,
I thank you sincerely for very obliging letter.1 It would interest me much to see the six letters of my grandfather published but his name & that of Reimarus are so little known that I doubt whether the editor of any journal would think the letters worth printing. If they are brought to England I should much like to see them.2
I remain dear Sir | Yours faithfully & obliged | Charles Darwin
