Will GHD ask Lord R[ayleigh] whether "gas-men in testing light, exclude the diffused light".
Sends a likeness [missing] of a monstrous woman who may be considered as "Darwin’s lost link".
Is obliged to GHD for arranging everything.
Sorry about the proof-sheets.
Asks for two property valuations. Is afraid he has made a mistake in CD’s property settlements.
Discusses division of Trust. Is concerned Bessy’s portion will be smaller than Henrietta's. Had a pleasant visit in Cambridge. There is a clerical error in the division of CD’s property.
Sends copy of his Das Bewegungsvermögen der Pflanzen [1881]. Disagrees with CD about plant movement.
Regarding CD’s paper ["Inheritance", Nature 24 (1881): 257; he comments on absence of black sheep at his father’s sheep station.
Notes that the repeated brandings of sheep produce no inherited effect, and a woman’s withered leg was not inherited by her children.
Will send copies [of Earthworms] shortly. Troubled by rumour of a mysterious copy in hands of a reviewer.
Thanks JW for book [Das Bewegungsvermögen der Pflanzen (1881)]. Discusses movement in plants.
Glad book [Earthworms] will soon be published.
G. J. Romanes has copy and often writes reviews for Nature. Probably did not know it was incorrect to publish it prematurely.
WG is a candidate for a new chair at University College, Liverpool. Asks CD’s permission to use extracts from his letter [13230] for a testimonial.
