At any future time I shall be delighted to answer any objections as far as lies in my power, or to receive any suggestions. I shall stay here at furthest only seven or eight days, & it is not improbable that I may be called home sooner, so that, though I should have had much pleasure in making Mr Foster’s acquaintance, it would not be at all worth his while coming here. Indeed during great part of day I am wandering on the hills, & trying to inhale health. Pray give my thanks to Mr Parker & say that I will remember his obliging offer should circumstances require me to make any remarks, which I hope may not be the case. With my renewed thanks, pray believe me, Dear Sir, Yours sincerely & obliged Charles Darwin" Letter sent from Ilkley Wells House, Otley, Yorkshire. The Robert M.
