Thanks RLT for his work, Diseases of women.
CD is also interested by RLT’s letter reporting a cat rearing chickens. "What a wonderful instinct is the maternal one."
CD declines to write for RLT’s new journal. He is not fitted for the work and dislikes it particularly. It costs loss of time as he "cannot change with ease from one job to another".
The honour RLT proposes [Darwin Festival] is a great one, "but would it not be better to wait until I am in my grave?"
Sends copy of Kosmos [containing Krause’s article on Erasmus Darwin].
Believes he can spare an Erasmus Darwin letter.
CD thanks RLT for his two notes, a newspaper article, and a copy of RLT’s address honouring him.
Would be glad to see RLT at Down if he thinks it fit to come there to deliver the address honouring CD.
Is honoured by RLT’s announcement, and offers a contribution to the Birmingham scientific fund.
Sends £25 for the Birmingham Philosophical Society scientific fund.
Owes much to Birmingham and great honour conferred on him, but cannot write what RLT wishes.
Thanks for the birthday greetings.
"I feel a very old man and my course is nearly run."
Does not know anything about a supra-condyloid process on the humerus, but would like to see RLT’s paper should he publish on the subject.
Thinks CD is right about the retention of a tail.
Has read RLT’s essay [The pathology and treatment of diseases of the ovaries (1874)] with interest. His facts about tumours seem to CD "highly favourable to some such notion as Pangenesis".
Would be glad to make RLT’s acquaintance, but CD’s health would make RLT’s visit to Down unprofitable. Suggests a meeting in London at end of month.
