Darwin Letter Recovered; FBI Returns 1875 Correspondence to Smithsonian Archives | 02 June 2016 | A handwritten letter by Charles Darwin that was stolen from the Smithsonian Institution Archives more than three decades ago was recovered by FBI special agents and returned last week to the care of the Smithsonian. The letter, written in 1875 by the British naturalist and geologist best known for his theory of evolution, was stolen in the mid-1970s from a collection of correspondence and documents relating to the history of North American geology. The letter, written to American geologist Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, was part of the George Perkins Merrill Papers.
