CD is correct; his notes are on the Jollof, not the Tollof, tribe.
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".
Is pleased to hear of signs of recovery for RM from his ill health, and all wish him a complete recovery.
Sends an article from the Astronomische Nachrichten acknowledging the assistance of the B.A.A.S. to two Prussian scientists.
