My dear Sir
I have had much pleasure in signing the enclosed. No one has a better right to be a member of the Zoological Soc. than yourself.2 Many thanks for the blocks, which I think are greatly improved by being cut.3 When I receive the last I will write to Mr Murray about paying for the lot.4
Many thanks for the Field: it is an interesting article, but contains nothing particularly new.— How hydra-headed the error is about the Gallus Sonneratii5
My dear Sir | Yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin
Your note is dated 12th. but I only got this morning & I am very sorry that I quite forgot it was Friday, but you ought to receive this tomorrow, Saturday)
