Dear Sir
I am very much obliged for the extracts, all of which are new to me, as I live in the country & rarely see a foreign paper.— It is good to see all sorts of criticisms & some of the extracts have amused me.— The three stanzas about the Ascidians &c are charming.2 If not too much trouble I shd be very glad to receive any other notices or reviews.—
I enclose two of the best photographs which have been made of me, so that you may choose which you like best & throw away the other.—3
Dear Sir | yours faithfully & obliged | Ch. Darwin
