Obliged for Belfast Journal.
Almost impossible to determine what constitutes an individual. Definition for sexually reproducing organisms does not apply to lower ones.
Thanks for essay [Cras credemus: a treatise on the cultivation of the potato from the seed, having for proposed results the extinction of the disease (1876)] and seeds. Thinks principle on which JT is acting is right.
Cannot allow publication of his earlier letter [10368], as he cannot recall what he wrote.
JT may publish CD’s letter.
JT may publish enclosed [letter by CD?], but it is not worth publication.
Gives advice on breeding of blight-resistant potatoes.
Does not think that publishing his letters as advertisement [for potato experiments] would help JT’s cause, so CD cannot give permission.
Regrets that he has neither the time nor health to undertake crossing experiments with JT’s specimens. Discusses crossing varieties.
