Sir
I am much obliged for your kind letter, in which you inform me that the Senate has passed a Grace conferring on me the great honour of an L.L.D. Degree.1 In some respects Dec. 6th would be much more convenient to me than an earlier date, and as you are so obliging as to give me the choice, I will fix on this day.
I beg leave to remain | Sir | your obliged & obedient servant | Charles Darwin
