My dear Sir,
I am much obliged to you for your new book, which I am sure will interest me greatly like everything else which you have written.1
With many thanks | Yours sincerely | Charles Darwin
P.S. Very many thanks for the list of seeds, which I will remember; but I do not want any at present.2
What you say about my works suggesting new lines of research, I consider one of the greatest compliments you cd possibly pay me—3
