My dear Sulivan.

The progress of the Fuegians is wonderful, & had it not occurred would have been to me quite incredible. Many thanks for the magazine.—¹

You have all been in a lamentable state & I am very sorry to hear it; though you now seem all fairly well again.—² I have not been very well of late & my scientific work tires me more than it used to do; but I have nothing else to do, & whether one is worn out a year or two sooner or later signifies but little. Farewell my old friend— I have had to answer an abominable number of letters, so will say no more, except to beg you to remember us very kindly to Lady Sulivan.³

My dear Sulivan | Yours very truly | Ch. Darwin
