DCP-LETT-2801

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Stevens Henslow
Date:
14 May [1860]
Source of text:
DAR 93: A70–1
Summary:

Thanks JSH for his defence [see 2794].

He is not hurt for long by what his attackers say. His conclusions were arrived at after long study. He has certainly erred, but not so much as "Sedgwick and Co." think.

Asks JSH to send names of plants that vary greatly in length of pistil.
