Memorandum about Dr Erasmus Darwin’s bequests.
CD is glad to hear that EK plans a short historical discussion on evolution [in Erasmus Darwin],
but hopes he will not spend much powder and shot on Butler – his ephemeral work is not worth it. Sends a review [of Evolution, old and new].
Reports on his family’s illnesses and other domestic matters.
