Extensive discussion of Pangenesis in reply to JDH’s comments.
Sad about Oliver’s loss.
JDH’s reference to odd Begonia at same time as an article about it came out in Gardeners’ Chronicle [(1866): 313–14].
Is astonished that Pangenesis seems perplexing to JDH. Pleads guilty to its being "wildly abominably speculative (worthy even of Herbert Spencer)".
Queries for John Smith [Kew curator] on crossing a cucumber variety.
Thanks for facts about New Zealand flora.
Needs Annales de la Société d’horticulture de Paris 7 (1830).
Asks that Oliver provide a reference for microscopical appearance and structure of a bud.
Was very well on first part of London visit.
Asks how many plants are proper to New Zealand for new edition [4th] of Origin.
