CW’s pamphlet [Darwinism (1871)] nearly ready. Friends have been much struck by it but say several passages rather obscure.
Glad CW coming to England. Will be delighted to see him at Down.
Thanks for facts relating to inheritance.
Sees mistake he made on certificates; will make list for future use.
Prefers W. C. Wells’s explanation of the formation of the Nehro type to CD’s sexual selection.
Outlines his view of the origin of man by natural selection.
