March 23/82

My dear Darwin

Best thanks for the American article, which is certainly suggestive, where paradoxical.1 It is delightful to find that virtue mainly resides in large & business-like families, fond of science and of arithmetic! It eminently hits off the character of your own family & in some fainter degree of my brothers & sisters, and of all Quakerism.

I hope your are quite well again | With our kindest remembrances | Ever yrs. Francis Galton
