Has seen Ogle. His subject [olfactory nerve tissue and absorption of odours] has often occupied JT’s attention.
Ogle will keep JT’s suggestion in mind in observing less hairy races of man and the lower animals.
Asks JT whether he can help Ogle on a troublesome point on the colour of tissues with olfactory nerves, and the relation of colour to the absorption of odours. Does JT’s respirator deprive odorous substances of their smell?
Ogle is unacquainted with JT; would be proud and pleased to call on him. CD likes what little he has seen of him.
Ogle wants very much to meet JT.
Thanks JT for his kindness to Ogle.
