Was reminded of CD by his new book [Descent] in a shop;
reports having come on train as far as Bromley in previous summer, but found no means of travelling the seven miles to Down. Might try again.
Thanks for letter and invitation to come to Down.
Sorry about CD’s bad health; Brazilian climate has improved his own.
Sorry to hear Miss Butler is dead.
A friend of JJA’s wants CD’s opinion on whether the disease porigo decalvans (hair falling out in clumps) demonstrates the link between man and dogs and has continued to evolve with man after he passed out of his "hairy-animal state".
Capt. [Richard?] Burton disagrees with CD’s notion of beauty in the abstract, and would like to meet him.
Invites him to visit.
Miss Butler is dead.
