About Meldola's trip to the Lake District. Has finished the Lowell lectures. Has only four political and social lectures to write. The opening lecture that he has offered to give at Loughton, is illustrated by diagrams, rather than lantern slides. Has arranged to exhibit slides to the Charterhouse boys and masters. Writing a criticism of Romanes' article on Darwin in journal of the Linnean Society, as "I consider it very imperfect." Willie's experiences at Cranleigh. ARW went to their speech day.
His reply to Romanes will appear in the Fortnightly. Thinks he has shown the entire fallacy of his whole argument, and also thinks that he has hit upon the true key to the solution. Calls Romanes' writing style tedious and long-winded.
Meldola's reply to Romanes in Nature does not go far enough. Newton calls attention to same view in Belt's Nicaragua. Darwin had commented No! No! against this in his copy. Could Meldola hold a brief for ARW at the British Association on this matter? In depth discussion of the content of his paper against Romanes in the Fortnightly.
Would like to know if Meldola can get ARW a reduction in a passage on the American Steam Ship Company for October.
