Has read THH’s review of Sir Wyville Thomson’s [Introduction to the] Voyage of the "Challenger".
Sends a draft of a letter for Nature [Collected papers 2: 223–4]. He particularly asks THH to decide whether he should include a certain paragraph [see ML 1: 389].
Sends draft of memorial for a pension for Wallace with suggested names of signers. Asks THH’s help.
