June 26.—73
My dear Sir
I leave England to day for Egypt & the East; I am tired of inaction: and shall not forget the Darwinian problems in my travels; I am sorry I shall not be able to hear your opinion about the passage in the Appendix relating to yourself;1 however it was not gone into properly: that I shall defer till my return which may be some time hence— I assure you it will always be a matter of pride & pleasure to me that ⟨I⟩ have known you & I only wished I cd. have ⟨colle⟩cted more information for you—
I remain | yours very truly | Winwood Reade
