On Huxley’s article for Contemporary Review [see 7977] confuting Mivart. It has cheered him,
for he is very low about his mother’s state.
Is also in detestable position with "my lord and master", A. S. Ayrton. JDH has denounced him to the [First] Lord of the Treasury [W. E. Gladstone] for his conduct.
CD advises publishing a short version of Primitive culture [1871] for the general reader.
Would like to see EBT, but his health has been bad and conversation is extremely tiring.
