Regrets he knows little of Dr Erasmus Darwin, but relates anecdotes told him by his father, Dr Fox of Derby.
Conveys some information about Dr Erasmus Darwin’s second wife and discusses photos of him and his wife.
Hopes to send last part of his work soon. CD may lay it aside or print only parts of it. Wants to add account of evolutionists before Erasmus Darwin. Superficial account by Samuel Butler makes this necessary.
