Success of the memorial for Wallace. Sends letter from Gladstone.
Congratulates THH on appointment as Inspector of Fisheries.
Congratulates CD on success of Wallace memorial.
Butler has attacked again.
Asks THH to sign a certificate of nomination to Geological Society for his son William, if an interest in geology is still enough to qualify for election.
Has signed William Darwin’s certificate of nomination to Geological Society.
Gives details of his Fisheries appointment.
CD tells how it came about that Anthony Rich bequeathed his house and land to THH.
Astonished by Rich’s act. Has written to him.
Has had letter from Rothenburg asking him to help obtain a grant for Haeckel’s expedition to Ceylon.
Has heard from Haeckel the story of refusal [by Humboldt fund] of Berlin Academy to support him because he was supporter of Darwin. R. Virchow has been so unfair to Haeckel that THH is inclined to think it is a true account. But obtaining the funds in England is extremely difficult.
CD has offered Ernst Haeckel £100 but does not know where to get further aid. Sorry to hear about Du Bois-Reymond, but is not in the least surprised about R. Virchow.
Erasmus has left half his fortune to CD. Anthony Rich nevertheless insists on keeping to his testamentary arrangements. He also referred to leaving some additional property to THH.
Hopes Anthony Rich will keep to his intention of leaving his fortune to CD, despite CD’s increased wealth.
His BAAS address at York in Nature ["The rise and progress of palaeontology" 24 (1881): 452–5].
Thanks for Science and culture [1881].
Refers to "Automatism" ["On the hypothesis that animals are automata"], wishing THH could review himself and answer himself and thus go on ad infinitum to the joy and instruction of the world.
Concern over CD’s health. Advises him to get one of the cleverer young London doctors to communicate with Andrew Clark. Only way out of difficulties with Clark.
Feels better. Grateful for THH’s kind letter. Wishes there were more automata like him.
