Local affairs.
Birth of JL’s child.
Is puzzled what to think about the [Natural History] Review. Doubts that it is wise that JL and Huxley should give up time to it: "if it would stop your doing original work you ought not, even pro bono publico, undertake the new work".
Reports on Henrietta’s health.
The Quarterly Review [108 (1860): 255–64] quizzes CD "capitally" and he read it with thorough enjoyment.
Drawing up paper on Drosera but will not publish till results are tested.
Praise for a paper on the Entomostraca by Lubbock (Lubbock 1862). Thanks for the compliment paid to the Origin and for his general comments.
Gives CD references to papers on eyes of lower animals.
