To T. H. Huxley 6 February [1862]1
Down
Feb. 6th
My dear Huxley
I return by this Post “The Week” which I have been glad to see.2
I entirely agree with all that you say in your published Letter on its excellent spirit. The writer must be a good man, whether as good a Logician as he thinks himself we at least shall doubt.
Ever yours | C. Darwin
