Dear Sir

I thank you for your most kind letter and for the present of your Essay which I hope to read in a short time though I am a very poor German Scholar.2 I much wish that I felt worthy of half the respect which your enthusiasm for science makes you express towards me.

Believe me, dear Sir, with all good wishes | Yours sincerely | Charles Darwin

P.S. I enclose a photograph of myself in case you would like to possess a copy.
