Transcription: "gift of Meredith Colbert April 23 1964 May 30. 1935 Cripps's Corner Forest Row Sussex Dear Sir I am glad to be able to say that the photo, which I return herewith, is certainly of my father. As to the signature, I am also as certain as I can be on such a matter that it is his writing. I see no reason to doubt it. I think it was probably taken somewhere about 1870; but this a mere guess. He always looked old for his age-It might be rather later. yours very truly Leonard Darwin" Letter with photograph, signed by sender. Sent from Cripp's Corner, Forest Row, Sussex.
