My dear Sir
I have no doubt that I owe to your great kindness the present received ⟨a⟩ few days ago of your magnificent work in quarto on Mining Industry, together with an atlas in folio.—1 I can assure you that I am fully sensible of this mark of your friendly feeling towards me. My sons have told me much of all that they saw in California & how greatly they were indebted ⟨to⟩ you for all sorts of assistance & kindness.2 They desire me to send you their very kind remembrances.
Pray believe me, My dear Sir | Yours sincerely & obliged | Charles Darwin
