No permanent optical solution to DS's double vision. Remarks on description by DS's son of cavalry duty in Ireland and Canada.
Inquires about other sunspot observations made by JH.
Asks whether WS has photographs of the sun for 21 and 22 April. Notes how curious sunspot activity has been. Doubts that such is reconcilable with the notion of 'meteoric in-falls.'
Note to accompany forwarding of a letter; remarks on T. R. Robinson's upcoming cataract surgery.

Apologises for saying more than was necessary in his previous letter. Although he feels gratitude and esteem for CD, he execrates those who use natural selection to oppose man’s higher interests and impede his advance. Has seen Huxley’s Man’s place in nature for sale among a crowd of obscenities at most Italian railway stations.
Has written to Kew Observatory to send on the photographs.
Aggressive behaviour of dogs and horses.
Is sending solar autographs. Notes that in groups of spots the larger precede the smaller spots. Can JH form any theories from this?
Detached postscript that discusses the margins of the two photographs, which seem to show that all planets are in the near hemisphere.
Rabbits still running true; hopes to increase alien blood to 30%.
Would like him to accept the enclosed paper on the cause and effect of dew. Comments on various points.
The volumes of the Sinai photographs will be dispatched tomorrow. The cost of the survey has been covered by subscriptions and he will forward a statement of the account later.
No summary available.
Is much obliged for information [about rabbits?].
Has no idea whether the sunspots appeared suddenly or gradually. The Kew people may be able to help in this matter. Comments on some more sunspots.
