My dear Sir
I am much obliged for your present of your Verbreitungsmittel, just received.2 It seems to me an excellent subject for an Essay, & I shall read it with the greatest interest, but I shall not be able to do so for some little time, as I have my hands so full of work just at present.
With my thanks & respect, I remain, my dear Sir | yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin.
