Glad GHD goes on with ripple-marks; if he makes out a theory of ripples, they might give important information about the most ancient deposits.
CD has been wonderfully glorified in the Times [review of Movement in plants, 20 Nov 1880].
Some sheets [of Movement in plants] are missing. Is delighted with its "lesson of methods of observation patience and thought".
Likes appearance [of Movement in plants].
The Times review should sell a few more copies.
Thanks Murray for present of volumes by Charles St John [A tour in Sutherlandshire, 2 vols. (1849?)].
Thanks for Movement in plants.
Condolences on S. E. Wedgwood’s death.
