Dear Sir,
My father begs me to express to you his thanks for your kindness in sending your pamphlet on Selliera.1 He has been so much interested by your letter that he has ventured to forward it for publication to Nature.2 He hopes that in the impossibility of communicating with you on the subject, you will excuse the liberty he takes in doing so.3
Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Francis Darwin
