My dear Häckel

I have just finished reading the English Translation (for from want of time I had deferred reading the French Translation) of your “Freedom in Science &c”, & you must let me have the pleasure of saying how much I admire the whole of it. It is a most interesting essay, & I agree with all of it. Virchow’s conduct is shameful & I hope he will someday feel shame. What an amazing Preface that by Huxley is.

With all good wishes

Yours ever sincerely

Charles Darwin
