From John Tyndall   8 March [1871]1

8th March.

My dear Darwin

I wrote to your friend immediately, saw him, talked to him, and liked him. I thought he would probably tell you all this—otherwise I would have written to you.2

The subjects on which he spoke to me have often occupied my attention.

Yours ever | John Tyndall
