A poem, "Burns to Darwin".
Bound copies [of Descent] have been dispatched to CD.
Robert Cooke, JM’s cousin and partner, has been nominated for Athenaeum; asks CD’s support.
Begs CD not to permit any notice by F. P. Cobbe to appear until after next week.
Thanks for copy of Descent.
VOK and his wife walked 25 miles through the Prussian lines to Paris.
Natural history collections undamaged by bombardment, but Edmond Hébert and A. J. Gaudry fear Prussians will rob them.
Several sheets of Descent lost as they passed through the lines.
