Writes of WED’s progress at school and events at home.
Discusses pigeons, with which he is "getting on splendidly".
Has been invited to see Mr Bult’s pigeons.
"The Pigeons are all quite well".
Sends thanks to Mrs Cotton.
Is grateful for SB’s note and assistance. Will call upon him in London in a fortnight.
Preparing paper on seed-soaking for Linnean Society ["Action of sea-water on seeds", Collected papers 1: 264–73]. Wants to use MJB’s results. Lost ardour when he found seeds would not float.
Has grown MJB’s purest pea seeds and got a few variants. Gärtner’s experiments suggest direct action of pollen, but CD thinks it is "mere variation".
Can FG use his influence with Rev. [Erhardt] to get information about domesticated poultry in Africa for CD?
