Description: |
Letter from Charles Darwin to Baden Powell (1796-1860), relating to his letter to Powell of the same day. Darwin corrects a possible misunderstanding and in an addition he adds some information that he previously forgot to include. Baden Powell was a mathematician and priest for the Church of England. He was an early supporter of evolutionary theory of Darwin and Wallace's ideas around natural selection.
