200 years ago today, Charles Darwin was born.

Who better to wish him a happy birthday than his own sister? There’s more family news [omitted] in the letter, but I was especially charmed by a middle-section about the only thing a certain young “Parky” remembers about uncle Charles.

From Susan Darwin 12 February 1836
