CD is curious about the feathers but will wait to see whether H. C. Sorby’s paper appears.
Thanks for 5th volume of the West Riding Asylum Medical Reports.

Thanks for FdeC’s work [Lectures on state medicine (1875)].
E. R. Lankester has been unfairly blackballed at the Linnean Society. He is to be proposed for a second time, with CD seconding the proposal. Urges ARW to attend the ballot.

Sends spare copies of his papers, but thinks several are not worth publishing.

Has not sent "Parallel roads of Glen Roy" [Collected papers 1: 87–137], as he is sure he was wrong.
Sends books.

Is glad ARW will attend to vote for Lankester [at the Linnean Society].
Has signed John Wesley Judd’s certificate.

Thanks for sending "wonderful speciment of Darlingtonia".
"I will not forget your obliging offer of giving me information with respect to California about which I may be curious."
