Dear Sir
I am much obliged to you for your kindness in having sent me the photographs of the various disks of stone. I will not trespass on your kindness by accepting the casts, as I am not likely ever again to attend to the subject of experience.1
I will send the photographs to my neighbour Sir J. Lubbock who from his studies will be better able to appreciate them, than I can.2
Pray believe me dear Sir | Yours faithfully | (sig.) Charles Darwin
