Amount of clay present in certain chalk samples.
Asks AWB for a reference to a paper;
thanks him for his generous review of the last edition [6th] of the Origin.
Has been looking for something about crop rotation in Origin and Variation.
Glad AW’s eyesight is better.
Has received AW’s essay [Einfluss der Isolierung (1872)].
Glad he is turning attention to sexual selection. Hardly any naturalists agree with CD on subject.
Disagrees with the "Darwinian theory"; does not see evidence enough to support it. Will send CD any notes he makes for or against.
