In London for the Botanical Congress; regrets missing CD.
Lyell and CD have mistaken H. Lecoq’s position on glaciers. He has not denied the possibility of a glacial period, only that decreased temperature is needed for their extension.
Recommends F. J. Ruprecht on vegetable detritus in the black earth chernozem of Russia.
Thanks JH for his kind letter [see JH's 1866-5-31]. James South has heard that his godson, William James Herschel, has returned from India. Could JH visit? [A greeting is appended by James South.]
