Dear Sir
I am very much obliged to you for your kind offer to allow me to examine your Madeira Cirripedes; but I am sorry to say that my time is so much occupied with other subjects of Natural History, that I do not wish at present to resume my work on this order.— With my best thanks, I remain | Your obliged servant | Charles Darwin
