CD is "more than pleased" by what R. B. Litchfield said of him. Congratulates HEL on having "so noble a husband".
All were "profoundly" interested by HEL’s account [of their welcome at the Working Men’s College].
Suggests CD have Origin [6th ed.] stereotyped.
Will sell out remaining copies of Descent at forthcoming trade sale, print off 500 or 1000 more, and then have the type distributed.
14 copies of C. Wright’s pamphlet have been sold.
Does not want CD to put his name to any religious movement. Discourages giving money to Abbott or Voysey.
Almost 600 copies of Descent sold at trade sale, with 120 left in stock. Suggests printing another 1000 to give more time for correcting the work for 2d edition.
W. Crookes’s article ["Enquiry into phenomena called spiritual", Q. J. Sci. n.s. 4 (1874): 77–97] "staggers" her. Would like to know CD’s opinion.
Much perplexed by W. Crookes’s article. He can neither disbelieve nor believe. Article has removed some of his difficulty in that the supposed power is not an anomaly. Hopes men such as G. G. Stokes will be induced to witness Crookes’s experiments.
