Will send carriage to station on 18th.
Has read Dallas’ translation of first part of EK’s essay [on Erasmus Darwin]. Has sent his MS to printer. Is perplexed by duplication. Thinks EK’s essay is better than his. Wishes he had sent all his material to him for a single biography. Best plan may be for EK to incorporate whatever he thinks useful in CD’s material.
CD is glad to hear that EK plans a short historical discussion on evolution [in Erasmus Darwin],
but hopes he will not spend much powder and shot on Butler – his ephemeral work is not worth it. Sends a review [of Evolution, old and new].
Invitation to Down for the 18th. W. B. Richmond, who is painting CD’s portrait, will also be there.
Thinks there is no particular interest in the abnormality in question.
Also CD has looked at several flowers and believes WDC may be mistaken in believing there is a rudimentary anther cell.
