Letter from Charles Darwin to unknown. [From East Brent] Transcription: "[] Dec 18. 67 My dear Sir I have to thank you much for yr kind letter and for all the information which it contains. I do not see [] and did not know [] I think that I can take no solace of it- It is enough to [fight] the home battle as first we may. Do not be angry with me if I say that the whole problem in Scotland is so anoma- -lous that I should do nothing to make an authority of it. We are [judging?] what the world calls "a losing game". If I thought that it was really fresh I should not be fighting it, nor would you. yrs always very kind C Darwin I enclose a paper [] the [] of 20 years consideration of practical [appearance] of this []. I think the facts you state in yr letter are an answer to [] to be known. Perhaps the meeting proposed in the paper enclosed may provide an opportunity. [] is not to be depended upon except for what [] it's own indifferention and it has a special [] []; not perhaps without cause."
