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].
