Dear Sir
During the last six months, I have had occasion several times to consult the collection of Birds in the British Museum.— With respect to the subject of your letter, I have much pleasure in informing you, that Mr George Gray has uniformly acted towards me with courtesy.
He not only has always opened as many cases, as I required with readiness, but has likewise repeatedly given me much useful information, often suggesting books of reference and other means by which I could obtain a knowledge of the subject I had in view.—
I have the pleasure to remain
Dear Sir
Very faithfully yours
Chas. Darwin
