To Gustav Jäger 17 February 1870
Feb. 17— 1870
Dear Sir
You will see, by the enclosed letter that I wrote to you in September to express my feelings about your work; and since which time I have received another copy of your book from yourself.1 I addressed the enclosed letter to the Zoological Gardens at Vienna; & it seems to have travelled all over Germany, & was returned to me this morning by the Post-Office.—2 I will address this to your publisher at Stuttgart.— I fear that you must have thought me very ungrateful to have taken no notice of your kind present, & this causes me much pain.—
Believe me dear Sir with much respect. | Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
