Dear Sir
I thank you for your obliging letter of Augt. 7th.2 Should I ever require any information with respect to the Paleontology or Nat. Hist. of your vicinity, I will not forget your kind offer of assistance.— My sons have no strong taste for the natural sciences, excepting one of them, & he is devoted solely to comparative anatomy.3
With my Thanks | I remain— Dear Sir | yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
