Does FG know Mansfield Parkyns well enough to submit query to him? [Probably about domestication of Columba guinea in Abyssinia. See Variation 1: 183.]
FG’s congratulations [on publication of Variation] have given CD pleasure.
Trusts that FG is well again.
Asks CD’s advice on procuring rabbits for experiments [to test Pangenesis by transfusing alien blood into does and breeding from them].
Praises FG’s book [Hereditary genius (1869)]. CD is converted by its argument. Previously CD believed men did not differ much in intellect, but only in zeal and hard work.
Greatly pleased by approbation from CD, whom he admires and whose Origin did much for him.
Intends going to Spain for the eclipse to make observations on solar radiation. Would like advice on the type of actinometer to use.
