Describes work on Challenger Radiolaria and publication plans.
CD thinks nothing had better be done about the deeds at present.
Henrietta thinks Erasmus Darwin almost too dull to publish.
Relieved to hear that EK approves of his notice [preface for Erasmus Darwin]. Is reflecting on idea that it might appear after EK’s article as "an additional or supplementary notice".
Grieved to hear that Grant Allen has been accused of plagiarism.
Thanks for assistance. Nothing more should be done at present about the deeds. JLC’s letter sent to CD’s son [George].
Notes observations on sensitivity and movement of radicles.
Has finished chapter [of Movement in plants] on sleeping plants and is now looking over heliotropism notes.
Is perplexed by Erasmus Darwin; Erasmus [A. Darwin] likes it, but Henrietta thinks it much too long.
Will shorten or leave out many parts [of Erasmus Darwin] but cannot agree that it is not worth while to say something about the family.
Suggests revisions in proofs of Erasmus Darwin.
