Thanks for letter [8137]. Finds observation at Stonehenge of depth of mould at different parts of slope "most valuable".
Feels that StGJM’s review of Descent [Q. Rev. 131 (1871): 47–90] greatly misrepresents CD’s opinions and conclusions. Feels their differences of opinion are so great that discussion of almost any subject would be a waste of both their time.
Asks FD questions about his sketch [missing] of ridges and furrows. [FD’s answers are interlined.]
Wishes their correspondence regarding their differences to be dropped, as CD feels that nothing he could say would have any influence on StGJM.
Discusses earthworm activity observed in old ploughed fields.
