JDH’s proposed India trip.
Will sorely miss discussions with JDH on species theory.
CD is getting on wretchedly with cirripedes.

Thanks for H. C. Watson’s interesting letter. Disagrees with him on intermediate varieties.
CD has read latest numbers of JDH’s The botany of the Antarctic voyage [pt I, Flora Antarctica (1844–7)]; notes several sentences against "us Transmutationists".

Thinks JDH should arrange his facts against the aquatic formation of coal.
CD would like to call on JDH.
Will call on JDH on Thursday, if convenient.
Has heard JDH does not return until tomorrow, so will not be able to see him at Kew but hopes to do so at Oxford meeting of BAAS.

Suggests a new view of symmetry of flowers.
Will discuss coal and species sketch at Oxford [BAAS meeting (1847)].

Can JDH lend him a full treatise on grafting?
Encloses another specimen of the "bilateral" Laburnum flower.

Sorry JDH is so determined on an expedition.
Cannot come to Hitcham as he is anticipating a visit from Bernhard Studer of Bern.

Pleased JDH works on geographical distribution of Van Diemen’s Land flora.
Planning a visit to Kew. Wishes to meet H. C. Watson.
Will visit JDH on Friday. Coming by phaeton to save five changes of conveyance.
David Milne’s attack on his Glen Roy paper ["On the parallel roads of Lochaber", (1847) Trans. R. Soc. Edinburgh 16 (1849): 395–418] made CD horribly sick.
Wants Thomas Thomson to establish geographical range of erratic boulders in India.
