DCP-LETT-5020

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
Date:
[28 Feb 1866]
Source of text:
DAR 94: 31–2
Summary:

Refers to part of JDH letter on glacial period sent on to Lyell. CD will not yield. Cannot think how JDH attaches so much attention to physicists. Has "come not to care at all for general beliefs without the special facts".

His health is improved but not so good as JDH supposes.
