Invites WDF to Down.
His stomach now so bad he cannot stay, even with close relations, for more than half an hour at a time.
Has quoted WDF on crossing white and slate muscovy ducks [Variation 2: 40]. When not crossed, do these breed true?
Will also quote him on Mr Woodd’s white ewes that produced black lambs by a ram with only black spots [Variation 2: 30].
If WDF should hear what ram was put to the ewes, CD would like to add it [see Variation 2: 30].
Will add "cautiously" that WDF believes white and slate muscovy ducks breed true [Variation 2: 40].
Thanks WDF for authentic details of number and colour of lambs [Variation 2: 30].
Complains of his eczema.
Health has been poor but eczema is improved.
A "squib" about Owen and Huxley on the brain has appeared in Public Opinion [3 (1863): 497–8].
His bad health has caused him to return to Malvern.
Emma cannot find the gravestone of their child, Anne. Asks WDF whether he can remember its location.
Encloses a four-page printed pamphlet on the cruelty of steel traps [see Collected papers 2: 83–4].
Thanks to WDF’s directions, Anne’s tombstone has been found.
CD improved, but recovery is slow. She describes treatment.
Encloses paper she and CD have written [see 4294, which was wrongly addressed by ED and had not reached WDF].
Thanks WDF for his letter [on steel traps].
Gives a better report of CD’s health since he gave up water-cure.
