Concerned about GHD’s health. Sends a prescription for a cough mixture.
Acknowledges correction in text of Variation . "You are a most conscientious editor & are as careful as I am apt to be careless."
Has heard from Ashwin Conway Newman of Guy’s Hospital of a case of a child without any prepuce whose father was a renegade, uncircumcised Jew, but whose ancestors had all been Jews. Newman thinks this a good case of inheritance with reversion. JP’s letter [missing] now shows how rash such a conclusion would be.
Encourages the government to keep the herbarium and library of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew.
Thanks OCM for the papers he has sent.
