CD has harangued the Down Friendly Club. Does not think it will dissolve.
His specimen catalogue has not been returned from Cambridge museum. If not lost, will answer query.
Wants to know how to obtain The thoughts of Marcus Aurelius, mentioned in Descent [1: 106].
Comments on CD’s Cross and self-fertilisation: its usefulness to florists, and his solution of a long standing puzzle in showing the increase of monstrosities in self-fertilised plants.
