Encloses a letter from Mr Moran, conveyed by Mr Lawrence.
Sends preface of his book [see 8241]; he acknowledges debt to CD, but does not claim to have given a correct exposition of Darwinism.
Thanks for vines and for all the information given him. Fears experiment will be more difficult than he had expected.
Will attempt to draw the two expressions CD wants.
Discusses Mivart’s reply ["Genesis of species", North Am. Rev. 114 (1872): 451–68] to CW’s review and to Huxley.
Asks whether CD knows anyone to whom he could usefully send a copy of his phyllotaxy paper [Mem. Am. Acad. Arts & Sci. n.s. 9 (1867–73): 379–415].
