My dear Sir

I am very much obliged to you for your present of your “Studien .... Ammoniten”, & am delighted that you have found time to publish your valuable results.—1 I hope soon to read your book, but German is always slow work with me.—

With much respect, I remain | Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
