William Crawford Williamson an Ernst Haeckel, Manchester, 24. Dezember 1879

„So may the rosy-finger’d hours

Lead on the various year;

And every joy, which now is yours,

Extend a larger sphere.”

“And suns to come, as round they wheel,

Your golden moments bless

With all a tender heart can feel

Or lively fancy guess.”

With Professor & Mrs. Williamson’s best wishes.

Jallowfield, Manchester. Christmas 1879.
