Gives account of inherited blindness in a family,
and observations contravening CD’s view in Variation that sheep and other domestic animals never run wild.
In answer to CD’s queries, relates further details about feral sheep: they are sterile when wild, but can become tame again.
Is glad CD liked Chamois hunting [in Bavaria (1853, 1860)].
Regrets CD’s poor health.
Sends his book, Transylvania [1865].
Has received [read?] CB’s two works [Chamois hunting in the mountains of Bavaria (2d ed., 1860) and Forest creatures (1871)] and has made use of them in his present book [Descent].
CB’s descriptions of the Tyrol make CD long to be "strong and young again to ramble over the mountains".
Thanks CB for Transylvania [1865].
CD’s health has declined steadily. He must now be content to read about nature as described by CB and others.
