Will proof-read his preface to Weismann’s Studien.
Requests name of the publishers of RM’s translation of Weismann’s Studien.
Apologises for the trouble he has caused RM. Encloses letter [13280] which has been returned to CD [by August Dupré, to whom CD had sent it in error].
Has received cheque for five guineas from Epping Forest & County of Essex Naturalists Field Club. About his letter on "Nationalisation of the Land" in the Daily News. Criticism of Nelson, who received £500 p.a. on top of his salary, plus £2000-£3000 expressly for his services re. Epping Forest. Views on Transvaal. "It is simply abominable that we should at the present day actually take away freedom from a people of European race who claim and defend it and have always done so!"
Sending paper on "species and Genera" from Nineteenth Century. Will stay at Meldola's before travelling to B. Ass. meeting at York.
Will not stay with Meldola, but invites him to Godalming for the weekend instead. Wants his advice about gas stoves.
Shall be glad to see Meldola on Monday afternoon. Has a friend staying so can't offer him a bed. The Varleys called but I don't know if they saw anything. The Corporation of Godalming have to sue the Gas Company humbly to "enlighten their darkness"! The Swann lamps would go out and where they did not go out gave far less light than gas lamps!.
Would like Meldola to bring him a Great Western Railway timetable for the month when he visits.
Asks Meldola to visit at the weekend and discusses moths.
Making arrangements to see Meldola.
