Thanks BJS for a journal and an interesting letter.
Thanks BJS for his congratulations [on Leonard Darwin’s success].
CD is "as usual, always ailing and grumbling".
Expects his new book [Descent] to "disgust you & many others".
Thanks BJS for his interesting letter about parrots and language.
Suggests BJS write to Louis Agassiz about his [fossil mammal?] specimens but doubts that he will have time to do the work. Regrets they were ignored at the Royal College of Surgeons; thinks Owen neglected many things because he was overworked.
