I beg leave to thank you very sincerely for your kindness in having written to me.2
After sending my letter to you I was advised to apply to the Colonial Office, & I find that there has been no recent return of the population, but that a census is expected very soon, of which I shall receive a copy.3 I shall thus get the desired information.
I have the honour to remain | Your Ladyships | Obliged & obedient servant | Charles Darwin
