From J. J. Moulinié 7 September 1868
London
7 7ber 1868
Dear sir,
I include in the present my promised photograph; though very unworthy of the place that it may be called to occupy in your album, amongst the so many eminent men that it already contains1 consider it however such as it is, as the image of one of your most devoted and sincere admirers, who regards the honour of having made your acquaintance, and the kind reception with which you have favoured him, as the most important circumstances of his voyage to England in 1868.2
Pray dear sir, present my respectful compliments to Mrs. Darwin, and reminding me to the kind memory of the members of your family of which I have made the acquaintance, believe me | your’s most respectfully and thankfully | J. J. Moulinié
P.S. I shall leave London on Tuesday morning; will remain in Paris a few days to hasten the publication of the second volume of the translation, which cannot last long, for the printer is actually after the Index. I hope to be back to Geneva about the middle of the present month.3
JJM
