From Frederick Behrens 3 December 1868
Springfield House, | Bradford—
3 Dec. 1868.
Honoured Sir,
I presume you are much plagued by applications for your autograph, and if, by adding one more to the list of your troublesome admirers, you deem it too great a liberty, pray excuse me—but grant my request.
I have long been a great admirer of your genius and ever since I have been a collector of autographs, it has been my ardent wish to have yours.
By conferring upon me this favour, you will greatly oblige,
Yours very faithfully | Frederick Behrens—
Charles Darwin, Esqre | F.R.S. Etc.
