Dear Sir
I am much obliged for yr kind note with the extracts in which you do me much honour.1 I shall be pleased to have your essay dedicated to me; but I fear that I shall not be able to give any assistance towards your excellent scheme as owing to the state of my health I am forced to live a very retired life.2
With my thanks I remain dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
