Sends comments and suggestions for Huth’s experiment on crossbreeding rabbits.
Pleased by W. Stanley Jevons’ letter.
Has ordered Dr Cohn’s book.
Is sure that GHD’s energy will lead to success with work on viscous fluids.
Asks that a copy of GHD’s paper on cousin marriage be sent to Hermann Müller. J. F. McLennan admires it "as a model".
J. T. Knowles [editor of Contemp. Rev.] hopes W. D. Whitney’s article will be a long one.
CD is sorry about GHD’s account of his low spirits. "I know well the feeling of life being objectless & all being vanity of vanities."
CD recounts events of the April-fool’s day séance at Hensleigh [Wedgwood]’s. Asks GHD to find out whether Sidgwick’s account of it agrees with what he has heard. "What rubbish the whole does seem to be!"
