Offers to contribute £10 towards ERL’s expenses in prosecuting Henry Slade, the spiritualistic imposter.
Asks that authoress be thanked for poem. Enjoyed poetry in old days; now cannot read a line.
Delighted that ERL will find time for original investigations.
CD much interested by ERL’s book [On comparative longevity (1870)]. Is pleased to find ERL refers to CD’s "despised child" Pangenesis, and is also pleased how thoroughly ERL appreciates Herbert Spencer, a philosopher perhaps equal to any that has lived.
Asks for photograph of pointed ear of ERL’s friend.
Discusses error in CD’s calculation of natural increase of elephants.
Includes extract from Origin.
Has had Hinrich Nitsche’s pointed ear photographed. Nitsche also has photographed the ear of a foetal orang. [See Descent 1: 21–3.]
