What is the quote from the Archbishop of Canterbury’s wife when she first heard about Darwin’s book?

I’ve been searching for the quote all over the place, and can’t find it anywhere. I know it starts with “Descended from the apes? My dear, let us hope that it is not so…” but can’t remember the rest. I need this for a paper I’m writing, so any help would be appreciated!

“Descended from the apes? My Dear, let us hope it is not true. But if it is, let us pray that it will not become generally known.”
