JDH looking for a gardener for CD’s unusual needs.
Has returned corrected sheets [of Erasmus Darwin] to Dallas. [CD’s note forwards this letter to a third person, presumably W. S. Dallas.]
Sends postal order for Samuel Scudder’s Catalogue [of scientific serials (1879)].
Discusses CGS’s account of Pellew Islands. Still believes atolls and barrier reefs in Pacific indicate subsidence. But cases like Pellew Islands, if frequent, would make his conclusions of little value.
CD invites MGR and his wife to lunch. Travel directions. Regrets that he will be unable to converse for more than an hour and a half. [See 12246.]
