APRIL 4TH, 1881,
DOWN,
BECKENHAM, KENT.
DEAR SIR,
I am very much obliged for your kind letter of March 19th. But your information is not new to me, as I read with great interest your first and second published notice on the case. It seems to me a very strange one, and different from any other known to me. I remain, dear sir,
With much respect,
Yours faithfully,
CHARLES DARWIN.
