CD writes about organising a subscription for Dohrn’s Zoological Station at Naples. Has drawn up a draft circular for naturalists to sign to show their support for the Station.
Sorry to hear of GHD’s poor health – he could have pleasant society at Cambridge if he were stronger.
Contributes £75 [to a fund for Naples Zoological Station] "if the affair goes on after we hear from Dohrn".
CD is looking for editorial assistance in preparing a new edition of Descent, and inquires whether GHD might be interested in taking on such a tedious job.
Pleased that GHD will help with second edition of Descent. Cautions him not to alter strength of CD’s expression or improve the style too much.
