Dear Sir
I am very much obliged to you for so kindly sending me your Schutzmittel der Bluthen &c.2 It is a most acceptable present. I do not know whether it is the same essay which I saw it stated has lately appeared in the “Naturforscher,” & which I immediately ordered from my bookseller.3 I wish that your essay had appeared 6 months ago, as it would have been very useful to me in writing a book, which will be published in 2 or 3 weeks’ time & which I will do myself the pleasure to send you.—4
With much respect I remain, Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
