On Nepenthes.
Asks JDH, if he publishes, to mention CD’s work on digestive powers of Drosera so that charges of plagiarism will not be made against CD later when he publishes.
Describes at length his observations on the movements of Desmodium.
Discusses adaptations in flowers and their heritability.
Mentions advertisements for HS’s book [? Study of sociology (1873)].
Thought HS would have profited by principle that a character appearing late in life is inherited at same age.
Would like much to visit CD before returning to America;
is completing his work on evolution [Outlines of cosmic philosophy (1874)] for publication. Hopes to do away with the anthropomorphic distinction made between "divine action" and the "action of natural forces".
