Has sent Vichy water, discusses prescription. Tell Arthur Parslow not to continue on colchicum for gout if doesn’t suit him. May go to Pryor’s on Sunday.
Thanks for Expression. Will write paper on it in next [July] West Riding Asylum Medical Report.
Sends photos of lunatics;
will send notes corroborative of CD’s views, including some on "hereditarily transmitted movements".
Although he believes in evolution, TM feels that natural selection is an inadequate cause;
nor is he satisfied with E. D. Cope’s law of acceleration and retardation.
Discusses some of his work relating to nutrition and sex and colour and sex.
Thanks for HR’s valuable remarks about Expression, and returns HRs copy, signed.
Discusses some of HR’s anecdotes about children sucking their tongues.
Admits that the youth who trembled so that he could not reload his gun after killing his first snipe was himself, when a school-boy.
Recounts the difficulties in preparing the French translation of Origin: the 1870 war, the illness and death of J. J. Moulinié, the alterations and additions from the 6th English edition. Despite competition from Royer’s three editions, Reinwald is contemplating a new edition.
Descent, vol. 1, has almost sold out. Offers CD £40 for rights to reprint a corrected version of Descent.
Pleased that JC-B will review Expression.
Fears he will not be able to improve the book with JC-B’s "wonderfully curious" photographs because Murray printed such a large edition.
Would be glad to have JC-B’s notes on inheritance – "a most important subject".
Distressed by the poor health of GHD and Horace. Asks them to come home.
