A fact on expression: sheep do use hoofs in fighting.
Praises Expression.
Reports on Fritz Müller’s observations of cross- and self-fertilisation. HM will cultivate the two forms [i.e., mainly self-fertilised and mainly cross-fertilised] in the way CD has described.
He continues his observation of wild flowers. Encloses drawing of Viola tricolor with notes on its self-fertility.

Thanks for reference to Hermann Müller’s book on fertilisation [Befruchtung der Blumen (1873)].
Publisher [Schweizerbart] has seen CD’s new book advertised [Cross and self-fertilisation] and wishes to publish a German translation of it.
Missed hostile review of Expression in Edinburgh Review. Agrees it might be by J. H. Stirling [see 8935], who has written in a deplorably polemical style on Huxley and Sir William Hamilton.
Hopes JT does not think him over-cautious in requesting the return of the copies [of Huxley’s letter]. Has sent Huxley a list of the subscribers.
Suggests hopping lizards may show the connection between reptiles and birds as proposed by Huxley.
Hopes affairs will enable him to get back to flowers.
Huxley’s letter [about the fund raised for him] was noble. Would like to have seen CD’s to him.
Asks Murray not to announce Cross and self-fertilisation.
Has been told CD wants photo of him; sends one. Requests a portrait photo of CD for his album. KEvB apologises for his English and his shaky hand; he is 88 years old.
Comments on HM’s book [Die Befruchtung der Blumen (1873)]. Particularly glad to read historical sketch and discussion of work of C. K. Sprengel.
