Thanks for copy of Movement in plants; CD’s discovery of a "nervous system without nerves" will have important bearing on origins of animal nervous system.

Praise for Movement in plants, lately arrived.
Praise for Wallace’s Island life
and astonishment that he could be a spiritualist.
Differs with Wallace on age of SW. Australian flora. JDH ascribes its peculiarities to isolation by an inland sea.
Thanks SH for her kind letter; would like to see her again.
Very pleased by JVC’s note about Movement in plants. Feared he would find it intolerably dull. Some missing sheets are being replaced. Also sends a perfect copy.
Thanks CD for copy of Movement in plants and says he is enjoying it. Is pleased that a full article appeared in the Times. Will go to Beaulieu soon for worm casts. His gardener calls worms “our civil engineers”. Promised to tell Frank how to make plants bend.
Island life. Expresses amazement that ARW should be a Spiritualist.
