No summary available.
About Miss Buckley's concerns for ARW's ill-health and his desire to obtain regular partially outdoor work, or indoor work that can be partially done from home. Darwin suggests to Hooker that they might advocate for ARW to receive a government pension given ARW's scientific achievements.
Argues against pension for Wallace because of his spiritualism; the underhanded way he brought about discussion of spiritualism at BAAS; his pocketing money from a bet on the sphericity of the earth; his lack of absolute poverty.
Hooker argues against Darwin's suggestion that ARW receive a government pension.
