My dear Häckel

I have just received your grand present & thank you heartily. The book is magnificent. – I have just looked over all the Plates & they are wonderful. An artist gone mad could never have imagined such diversified and || & curious structures.

I congratulate you of the completion of so gigantic a work. You are a wonderful man to do so much.

Ever my dear Häckel

Yours very sincerely

Charles Darwin
