Comments on his own honorarium for English edition of Erasmus Darwin. Success of German edition.
WCW’s specimens are interesting, but CD thinks the slowness of the change might have been expected.
Sends specimens of what he takes to be barnacles found on rocks in the mountains.
Asks CD to invite William James to stay before he returns to America.
Honoured by offer of medal from Chester Natural History Society, but if he is expected to attend in person to receive it he regrets he must decline. Asks TMH to decide for him.
JBI’s "barnacles" would have been extraordinary, but they are hard lichens.
Has revisited Cambridge.
Asks GHD to decipher a letter [in German] he has received with a book: The Bible in science.
Enjoyed his stay in Cambridge extremely.
"Barnacles" [from rocks in Scottish mountains, identified as lichens],
burglar alarms,
and family news.
Plans to visit Down.
Explains how to reach Down.
CD is sorry for the trouble TMH has had. Fully approves of the rule [that the medal be awarded to a local worker?]. The knowledge that the Chester Natural History Society wished to honour him is the real gratification, which he will never forget.
Believes he knows some "great truth" and wishes to meet with CD to discuss it.
Overjoyed at having met CD.
Sends a paper by William Whitaker [? "On subaerial denudation", Q. J. Geol. Soc. Lond. 23 (1867): 265–6].
Thanks correspondent for information on a plant. It is too late for his present work.
