Thanks LA for Methods of study [1863].
Is gratified that he has not taken a personal dislike to CD, though he is strongly opposed to nearly everything CD has written.
Thanks HWB for bringing "the question of sexes" before the Entomological Society. Feels he will come to some conclusion by comparison of numerous observations.
It appears Pangenesis "will expire unblessed and uncursed by the world".
Thanks LA for information on sexual differences in the coloration of Amazonian fish. CD was anxious to know how the sexes differed because they are unusual in that the male has the largest share in looking after ova and young.
Would have liked to come to lunch, but has been talking so much to Hooker that he has no strength left.
Encloses answers and corrections [concerning Orchids]. Thanks HGB for translating it.
Congratulates TB on his son’s success in scientific studies.
Susan Darwin’s death [Oct 1866] has severed last ties of family with Shrewsbury.
