Is sending his reply to Nature, justifying his misunderstanding as well as he can [see 7717].
Writes that he does not share at all in Lionel Beale’s letter in Nature [4 (1871): 25–6];
his new experiments are not hopeful.
Is turning to experiments with rats, "Siamesed together" for cross-circulation.
Asks that the rabbits CD has kept be sent to him; will continue [transfusion] experiments on rats, but using larger [surgical] connection.
Going to Down to see the "most curious" results.
The rabbits arrived safely.
Gives his account of H. M. Butler’s apparently inherited habit.
Asks to have one pair of rabbits sent to him; is abandoning experiments with the rats.
Endorses revised statement about Butler’s odd hereditary habit;
describes a séance at William Crookes’s.
Has forwarded CD’s letter to Crookes.
Has attended one more séance, which he describes; tells of the freedom investigators have to check, although they cannot prearrange, experiments.
Again seeks help with his rabbits; hopes one of CD’s men can take them.
Delighted CD’s groom will take the rabbits;
has just done proof of a paper to the Royal Society on "blood-relationship", defining kinship between parents and offspring.
Thanks CD for criticisms of his paper; explains why there is greater diversity among succeeding generations than in the first.
Will do what he can for Lord Sackville Cecil, but he, himself, cannot get to séances when he likes. Introduction of a stranger always disturbs séances. Person most likely to help would be Lord Lindsey.
May FG have lunch with CD Thursday [1 Aug] and arrange about rabbits?
The buck is well; Dr Carter has returned, and things will go better.
Sends thanks for Expression; offers some additions, and will send printed queries abroad if CD wishes.
Agrees the rabbit experiment has gone on long enough, but would like one more litter.
Thanks CD for completed questionnaire;
