CD will take care of the eight little rabbits. FG outlines their future.
Arrangements for transfer of rabbits to CD.
Reports safe arrival of rabbits.
Upset to learn he has misrepresented CD’s doctrine on Pangenesis [in Proc. R. Soc. Lond. 19 (1871): 393–410]. Hopes that CD’s letter to Nature [3 (1871): 502–3; Collected papers 2: 165–7] will clarify the doctrine and attract attention to it.
