Thanks CD for telling her "such exact truth". She saw Thomas Carlyle at Keston – the country air has done him good – "he is half sorry to have been so unsociable on his first arrival".
Lord Derby was pleased by CD’s warm and genuine expression of approval [of his support of Vivisection Bill? see 9933].
Count Schouvaloff asserts that CD’s works are prohibited in Russia. Is he not mistaken?
Sends fragment of bone from the head of a fish called "Corbin", brought from River Plate by her brother.
Sackville Cecil would like to be present with Francis Galton at one of William Crookes’s séances. Can CD arrange it?
Sends a bottle containing fish which Lord Arthur Russell had promised to send.
W. Crookes’s article ["Enquiry into phenomena called spiritual", Q. J. Sci. n.s. 4 (1874): 77–97] "staggers" her. Would like to know CD’s opinion.
