DCP-LETT-3603

From:
Alphonse de Candolle
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
13 June 1862
Source of text:
DAR 161.1: 10
Summary:

Has read the Origin several times. His position is like Asa Gray’s: he wishes to believe in descent, but proofs of natural selection are lacking.

Looks forward to CD’s promised large book.

Thanks for Primula paper [Collected papers 2: 45–63]. Did CD sow the seeds of his crosses? One would like to know whether the two forms reappear at random.
