Ap. 8 1871
Madam
I have the honour to acknowledge, on the part of Mrs Darwin & myself, the request that we should agree to our names being added to the General Committee for securing medical education to women.1
I shall be very glad to have my name put down, or that of Mrs Darwin but I should not like both our names to appear.2
With sincere good wishes for the cause you are so generously aiding I beg leave to remain | Madam | your obedient servant | Charles Darwin
