CD agrees entirely with EK’s proposal. Has collected a good deal of material. Useless to hunt for correspondence between Dr Darwin and Samuel Johnson. They met only once and hated one another. Dr Darwin is said to have taken Henry Brooke, who published a poem entitled "Universal beauty", as a model.
"I have signed the enclosed with pleasure."
Thanks AN for his kind expression about Frank [Darwin].
Memorial in support of EC travelling to Europe to research his bibliography of ornithology.
