Response to ARW’s MS on geological time ["The measurement of geological time", Nature 1 (1870): 399–401, 452–5].
Groans over [what is said about] man.
Thanks for a woodcut sent by ARW for Descent.
Congratulations on his removal from London,
and praise of his review of Francis Galton ["Hereditary genius", Nature 1 (1870): 501–3]. CD agrees with every word of it.
Appreciation of eulogy in preface of ARW’s book [Theory of natural selection].
CD sends a "curious drawing" [missing] relating to imitation and protection.
Praise for ARW’s reply [Nature 3 (1870): 49–50] to a paper by A. W. Bennett ["Natural selection from a mathematical point of view", Nature 3 (1870): 30–3] holding that mind is a leading cause of variation.
Is reading proof of his "confounded book" [Descent].
