Has not heard from Mivart; CD is convinced he is a hypocrite.
Is not inclined to restrain himself from expressing his opinion of Mivart. Huxley’s article in Academy.
JDH would be rash not to follow advice of his friends. [CD’s] wife and George oppose his writing to Mivart.
Hopes JDH will beat Sir Douglas Galton.
Continues to work on insectivorous plants.
Astonished at JDH’s success versus Galton
and his attack on Murray is superb. Has written a formal letter to Mivart enumerating his offences.
