Trying to persuade CD to visit JL.
JL is in France with J. Steenstrup.
John Lubbock wants a copy of Origin (4th ed.) for Philip Norman.
"… Mr Herbert Spencer. I will call tomorrow about half past 12".
Herbert Spencer is staying with the Lubbocks and would much like to see CD.
Has marked a page from Adam Bede which may be relevant to CD’s work on expression.
Sven Nilsson may visit John Lubbock.
Norwich [BAAS] meeting was most successful.
Further arrangements for polling. Everything looks well. [Ellen Lubbock notes, "he is too sanguine – ".]
Would have liked to come to lunch, but has been talking so much to Hooker that he has no strength left.
