Thanks for excellent notice of Chauncey Wright.
Would like a copy of Wright’s "Darwinism in Germany" [Nation 21 (1875): 168–70].
Will send carriage to station on 18th.
Invitation to Down for the 18th. W. B. Richmond, who is painting CD’s portrait, will also be there.
Thanks for JF’s book [Darwinism and other essays (1879)].
Thanks JF again for his Essays, which he has now read.
Thanks JF for his lectures, the arguments of which he finds very forcible; is glad to see JF has detected the falseness of much of Mivart’s reasoning.
CD is glad to hear of nature of JF’s work;
proposes that JF call when CD comes to London.
Has read JF’s attack on Agassiz ["Agassiz and Darwinism"] in Popular Science Monthly [3 (1873): 692–705].
Thanks JF for copy of Cosmic philosophy [1874].
Praises JF’s book [Cosmic philosophy (1874)].
Has long wished to understand H. Spencer but is not convinced by him and some others. CD cannot trust deduction from a starting principle, as his mind is so fixed by the inductive method.
JF’s indebtedness to Herbert Spencer. [Published version complete.]
Would like much to visit CD before returning to America;
is completing his work on evolution [Outlines of cosmic philosophy (1874)] for publication. Hopes to do away with the anthropomorphic distinction made between "divine action" and the "action of natural forces".
Thanks CD for Descent
and for his praise of Cosmic philosophy [1874].
