Darwin”. Fox’s reply to Darwin, giving additional details on the white, blue-eyed, blind cats, is archived in the Darwin Correspondence Project.

Charles Darwin autograph letter signed, dated 12 February 1879 shortly before his publication ”The Power of Movement in Plants”. Darwin writes fellow English naturalist and explorer Henry Walter Bates regarding a document to be sent to the Royal Society. Letter reads, ”Feb 12th 79 / Dear Bates / Enclosed is the certificate with 7 signatures, which I would think was ample, but I send it to you instead of direct to R.S. [Royal Society], as you might have to get stamps from Martin and friend Sir H.C. Rowlinson’s signature, whom I do not know. If I were in your place I would append to your title ‘Ex Pres [President] of Ent. [Entomological] Soc. [Society] Yr’; but you are the best judge of this. I think that you had better send the certificate, with note enclosed by a safe hand or [?]. Yours sincerely, Ch. Darwin”. Darwin had earlier praised Bates seminal work, ”The Naturalist on the River Amazons”, as the ”best book of Natural History Travels ever published in England”. Single page letter measures 5” x 8”. Light soiling and wear; overall in very good plus condition with very bold handwriting and signature. Sold for $6,250.
Charles Darwin autograph letter signed, dated 4 January 1876 upon his letterhead from Down House in Kent. Darwin writes to ”The Garden” magazine founder William Robinson, with whom Darwin had corresponded regarding the behavior of climbing plants and waterlilies. At the time of this letter, public opinion of Darwin’s recent works was positive, a dramatic shift from ”On the Origin of Species”, deemed controversial and even scandalous when it was published 17 years earlier; Darwin even commented that ”everybody is talking about it without being shocked.” The newfound appreciation for his publications is evident in this letter, in full: ”Dear Sir / I am much obliged for your kind gift of six copies of the ‘Garden,’ with a drawing of myself & a notice of my works. This notice is drawn up in the most generous spirit & is highly honourable to me. I thank the writer very sincerely & remain Dear Sir / Yours very faithfully / Charles Darwin”. Single page letter measures 4.75” x 7.5”, archivally framed to 9.25” x 12.25”. Folds and a vertical strip of light discoloration, otherwise near fine condition with bold handwriting and a full, bold signature. Sold for $5,938.
