A letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has beenreturned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives (档案馆) by the FBI after being stolen twice. "We realized in the mid-1970s that it was missing," says Effie Kapsalis, head of the SmithsonianInsitution Archives. "It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern (实习生), from whatthe FBI is telling us. Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter forresearch purposes," and the intern put the letter back. "The intern likely took the letter againonce nobody was watching it." Decades passed. Finally, the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very closeto Washington, D.C. Their art crime team recovered the letter but were unable to press chargesbecause the time of limitations had ended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives todetermine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian's property. The letter was written by Darwin to thank an American geologist, Dr. Ferdinand VandeveerHayden, for sending him copies of his research into the geology of the region that wouldbecome Yellowstone National Park. The letter is in fairly good condition, in spite of being out of the care of trained museum stafffor so long. "It was luckily in good shape," says Kapsalis, "and we just have to do some minorthings in order to be able to unfold it. It has some glue on it that has colored it slightly, butnothing that will prevent us from using it. After it is repaired, we will take digital photos of itand that will be available online. One of our goals is to get items of high research value orinterest to the public online." It would now be difficult for an intern, visitor or a thief to steal a document like this. "Archivingpractices have changed greatly since the 1970s," says Kapsalis, "and we keep our high valuedocuments in a safe that I don't even have access to." 51.What happened to Darwin's letter in the 1970s？ A.It was recovered by the FBI.
