Thanks for note; mentions borrowing and returning volumes. Orders a volume containing a paper by R. J. H. Dutrochet ["Recherches sur la volubilité des tiges de certains végétaux et sur la cause de ce phénomène", C. R. Hebd. Acad. Sci. 19 (1844): 295–303].
Notes that his health is better.
Agrees with JDH on Lyell–Lubbock controversy except that Lubbock’s printed note does not seem to him insulting. Hopes JDH can heal the breach.
Believes GM’s reported monstrosity is not rare. Does not believe it resulted from the effect of the imagination of the mother on her offspring.
Reports on progress of ice treatment.
Impressed by Tylor’s book [see 4836].
Encloses admirable note from Huxley on Lyell–Lubbock affair.
Sends Fritz Müller citation as CD requested.
Huxley is boldly proclaiming his Darwinism at Royal Institution ["Methods and results of ethnology", Not. Proc. R. Inst. G. B. 4: 460–3; also Collected essays 7 (1894)].

Wife improving.
Glad CD liked Huxley’s letter.
Not an admirer of Kingsley.
Delighted at CD’s praise of his book [Prehistoric times (1865)].
CD’s paper on "Climbing plants" [J. Linn. Soc. Lond. (Bot.) 9 (1867): 1–118] has made nature come alive for CK.
Huxley’s capital, witty letter.
Charles Kingsley has written of his interest in "Climbing plants".
Health has been very bad.
Thanks CD for his paper "Climbing plants" [see 4861] and for a photograph.
Hopes soon to send a copy of his memoir on hybridisation
