My dear Häckel

I have just received your letter, which like so many others from you, is full of kindness towards me. The book about the Canary Islands has reached me safely, but I had quite forgotten its existence. With respect to Pangenesis, I am sorry that you dissent so strongly from it, as it has lately risen in my estimation; || but you are thoroughly right to explain in the clearest & strongest terms, your dissent. I shall read your Essay on Perigenesis with very great interest, but I shall not do so just at present, as it will be hard work, and I have not been lately very well, so that I shall soon leave home for some complete rest. ||

Believe me

my dear Häckel

Your sincere friend

Charles Darwin
