Sir,

Having seen your notice in the newspaper, I forward a copy of a letter which I received recently from Mr. Darwin, in case you should like to insert it as a striking illustration of the kindness & benevolence of so great a man in giving his time and attention to answering the unlearned enquiries of a complete stranger like myself.

On the same sheet I have copied a letter from the Rev^d James Roy which contains an account of the

cats about which I wrote to Mr. Darwin.

I remain Sir,

Yours truly,

Mrs. J. Gwenogfryn Evans

Mr Francis Darwin
