To F. J. Cohn   11 January 1882

Down. | Beckenham Kent (&c)

Jan. 11th. 1882.

My dear Sir.

I thank you cordially for the gift of your new & very handsome work.—1 I see by looking at the table of contents, that there is much which will interest me greatly.

If I could read German easily I believe that I should never read a book in any other language, so much is published in your country which is valuable to me.

Believe me with much respect | Yours sincerely. | Charles Darwin.
