Dec 23. 74
My dear Sir
I am much obliged for your kind letter of Dec 13. I shall be extremely glad to see a work on evolution written by a Botanist, but I am sorry to say that your book has not reached me.1 If it has been lost in the transit, pray do not send me another copy, as I can easily order one & will esteem it as if it came direct from you. If however it was sent through a bookseller, perhaps it will yet arrive. I am glad to hear of the success of your lectures, as by this means you will probably educate some young naturalists in the right faith2
With much respect & my best thanks I remain dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
