Geach, if you would
express for me my _sincere_ thanks for his kindness in sending me the
very valuable answers on Expression. I wrote some months ago to him in
answer to his last letter.
I would ask him to Down, but the fatigue to me of receiving a stranger
is something which to you would be utterly unintelligible.
I think I have heard of the scales on butterflies; but there are lots
of sexual characters which quite baffle all powers of even conjecture.
You are quite correct, that I felt forced to make all additions to the
"Origin" as short as possible.
I am indeed pleased to hear, and fully expected, that your Malay work
would be known throughout Europe.
Oh dear! what would I not give for a little more strength to get on with
my work.--Ever yours,
C. DARWIN.
I wish that you could have told me that your place in the new Museum was
all settled.

Dear Darwin,--I do not know your son's (Mr. George Darwin's) address at
Cambridge. Will you be so good as to forward him the enclosed note
begging for a little information?
I was delighted to see the notice in the _Academy_ that you are really
going to bring out your book on Man.
