Many thanks for the book [Variation].
Discusses [Fritz?] Müller’s confusion about ova and pseudova; JL’s Daphnia paper [Philos. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. 147 (1857): 79–100; see 1979] first demonstrated their structural identity.
Points out a misleading statement in Variation.
Returns Anthropological Review.
Asks to borrow Desmarest on Crustacea [Considérations générales sur la classe des crustacés (1825)].
Has been reading JL’s address to the Entomological Society [Trans. R. Entomol. Soc. Lond. 3d. ser. 5 (1865–7): cxiii–cxxxi].
Would like to hear JL’s conclusion for or against Pangenesis.
Found [Variation] full of interest. Has not yet made up his mind about Pangenesis; wants to hear what can be said against it.
Has been looking at the school accounts. Has any interest been paid to S. J. O’H. Horsman this year? CD will keep accounts temporarily; he has not yet received from Horsman the balance in hand from last year.
JL’s Royal Institution lectures.
Would like to borrow CD’s carriage on polling day.
Arrangements for polling.
JL’s failure to be elected to Parliament.
Thanks for the pamphlets; JL’s paper, "Primitive condition of man" [Nat. Hist. Rev. n.s. 6 (1868): 328].
Further arrangements for polling. Everything looks well. [Ellen Lubbock notes, "he is too sanguine – ".]
