My dear Sir
I am very much obliged for your interesting letter with an account of the Zoological Station at Naples. Will you tell Dr Foster that I quite agree with him that it would be best to publish Dr Dohrn’s letter just as it stands, together with his circular I think also it would be best to publish a list of the donors with the amounts subscribed; for I remember on two or three occasions having subscribed for some object & feeling disappointed at never receiving any news of the success of the movement2
In the present case I think that all the subscribers will feel highly satisfied at the result
My dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
