Asking if the British Association keep a list of lecture engagements, as ARW would like a few engagements for the coming winter.
Enclosed ticket has been sent to ARW by Hampden. the Dialectical Society "are allowing him to expose his ignorance and absurdities." Will Meldola go and see what Hampden has to say? Busy with arrears of correspondence and reading, plus volume on Australasia. Problems with eyesight.
Will not be able to attend the "fungus foray", as have builders at work at home. Sorry that Meldola had a wasted evening with Hampden, thought the Dialectical Society meeting would lead to some "excellent fooling.".
Can Violet stay with him at Meldola's, as she wishes to attend the Converzatione with her father?.
Sending revisions of chapter on mimicry.
Is going to Newcastle next Saturday, and also has a lecture at Sale, near Manchester on Tuesday. Has started on his work on popular Darwinism.
Encloses postage for umbrella Meldola returned. Has had a breakthrough with his hybridity chapter ... "in some cases nat. select. will accumulate variations in infertility between incipient species." Thinks he has made the issue a good deal clearer than Darwin left it.

ARW has been in Penzance, Land's End, Chepstow and Coleford with Annie. Details of holiday. Spent a week with Marianne North at Alderley.
The Meldola's are welcome to stay. Wants set of examination papers for the college entrance exam for Willie's mathematical master. ARW wants Willie to enter college in the mechanical engineering department in a year's time.
Can one of Meldola's pupils or assistants weigh some seeds for him in decimals? Has finished MS of his book.
Thanks for weighing seeds. About butterflies, and trip to Manchester on the 20th.
Asks if Meldola has the Electrotypes of Fritz Müller's mimicking Butts given in Proc. Ent. Soc. 1879 p. XXI as he would like it for his book. Also asks if Meldola knows of any other woodcut illustrating mimicry of any kind that he could get; new ones are too expensive as he would like his book to be cheap.
Thanks for notes and references on "colour" chapters. Discusses his theory of "recognition colours." Going to Hastings for week or two, to restore his wife's health (address c/o Mrs Pearson, 13 High Wycombe, Hastings).

Informs Meldola they have found a new home and will be moving soon to Dorset.
If Meldola comes across any errata in Darwinism ARW would like to know, as Macmillan needs to print a new Edn. - Unless Meldola has noted anything worth altering he need not reply.
Thanks Meldola for correction and discusses Parkstone.
Has been too busy to write. Descriptions of countryside. Is coaching Willie in mathematics -wants past examination papers. Willie is going into Professor S. Thompson's department (at Gresham College?).
