Transcription: Dear Dr. Stecher, Thank you for your letter of 16th December about Dr. Bruere. I am glad that you took up the subject with him, and I may say I wish you had expressed yourself even more strongly. It seems to me really quite shocking that a man can reach a position of his kind on such an unbelievably deficient upbringing. If I had felt it incumbent on me to write to him as you have done, I think I would have asked him if he also believed that the earth was flat. If I can be any help to you over the projected lecture I hope you will let me know. But I should mention that I expect to be abroad on holiday during February. With kind regards and best wishes for 1960, Yours sincerely, Charles Darwin Letter, signed by sender. Envelope included. Sent from Newnham Grange, Cambridge. The Robert M.
