Sends paper on potatoes [see 10440].
Requests permission to publish CD’s previous letter [10440].
Believes publishing CD’s letter will enable JT to suppress the potato disease several years sooner.
Returns CD’s answer to JT’s question "What is an individual?", and repeats his request for permission to publish it.
JT still thinks CD’s opinions on "what is an individual?" should be published.
Seeking financial backing for his research.
Sends some potato plants and tubers.
JT’s crossing experiments on potatoes. Attempts to develop resistance to Peronospora.
Thanks for CD’s assistance and his advice on crossing.
Thanks for essay [Cras credemus: a treatise on the cultivation of the potato from the seed, having for proposed results the extinction of the disease (1876)] and seeds. Thinks principle on which JT is acting is right.
Cannot allow publication of his earlier letter [10368], as he cannot recall what he wrote.
JT may publish CD’s letter.
Gives advice on breeding of blight-resistant potatoes.
Does not think that publishing his letters as advertisement [for potato experiments] would help JT’s cause, so CD cannot give permission.
Regrets that he has neither the time nor health to undertake crossing experiments with JT’s specimens. Discusses crossing varieties.
JT may publish enclosed [letter by CD?], but it is not worth publication.
