Pleased at RO’s praise of Coral reefs.
Has read with very great interest RO’s "Report on the archetype" [Rep. BAAS 16 (1846): 169–340]. RO should give name to every letter or number in his woodcuts.

Thanks JSH for his address [Address delivered in the Ipswich Museum on 9th March 1848]. Questions a sentence which implies that only the practical use of a scientific discovery makes it worth while. The instinct for truth justifies science without any practical results. Cites his work on cirripedes.
Returned [WB's] manuscript with Admiralty notes last week. Concerned, because postal service lost C. R. Darwin's manuscript when JH returned it.
Has forwarded the manuscript, with notes, to the Admiralty and JH should receive it in a few days. Leaves the arrangement to him. Did he receive his letter of 15 Jan. and a copy of his Southampton report?
