Descrizione:

The text of the letter reads: "Down. Bromley. Kent. March 31 "Dear Mr. Appleton, "I was much surprised a few days since by receiving your kind present of Fremont's Expedition, - a work of which I had seen extracts & had been for some time wishing to read - so that it is a most desirable present in itself & I feel very much gratified at your kind remembrance of us. - Mrs. Darwin & the children are all very well & we are leading our usual quiet life in our quiet village of Down. Some not long time since we had a visit from Mrs. Mackintosh & Robert, with only the Baby as the other children were a little unwell. Your sister looked decidedly better than when I last saw her before, but yet sadly delicate - I hope to hear of her paying you a visit at Boston this summer. - Robert has at last finished his collected work of Sir James, & I am delighted to hear that they are likely to sell well; it always has appeared to be rather a hazardous undertaking in a money point of view. With Emma's kind remembrances pray believe me, with thanks "Yours very sincerely, C. Darwin." Bostonian Thomas G. Appleton (1812-1884) was an essayist and patron of the arts, later a prominent benefactor of the Boston Public Library and Museum of Fine Arts. At the time of this letter, he was an expatriate student of art. His sisters were Fanny Longfellow, wife of the poet; and Mary "Molly" Mackintosh, wife of Emma Darwin's cousin Robert Mackintosh (about whose health Darwin offers news) A fine letter from Darwin, at his country residence, with interesting personal and intellectual content Folded 8vo. 3 pp. Fine. Not in "The Correspondence of Charles Darwin 1821- 1846" (Cambridge U. Press, 1985). Codice inventario libreria 218504
