12—Nov—1879—
Dear Mr. Darwin
It is very kind of you to send me the life of Dr. Darwin—1 I admire it greatly, it is very interesting & full of valuable information— He was a striking character & shone especially in an age when such men were scarce—
I had used in my early life to hear much of him from my Father Dr Fox who was a co-temporary with him & very intimate with him—2 I shall always value highly the memoir you have given me—
Your’s very much obliged, & faithfully | Douglas Fox
C. Darwin Esqre
