Dear Sir
I am very much obliged for your kind letter of March 19th— But your information is not new to me, as I read with great interest your first & second published notice on the case.1 It seems to me a very strange one, & different from any other known to me.—
I remain Dear Sir | with much respect. | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
