Source of text:

Summary:

Doubts whether an experiment to test the durability of human bones would be worth while. Absence of such bones in post-glacial river-bed deposits does not weigh in the least on CD.

DCP-LETT-8033

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Chauncey Wright
Date:
28 Oct 1871
Source of text:
American Philosophical Society (Mss.B.D25.)
Summary:

Glad CW has written on phyllotaxy [Mem. Am. Acad. Arts & Sci. n.s. 9 (1867–73): 379–415].

Sure that CW’s pamphlet [Darwinism (1871)] will do cause good service.

Grateful for kindness to sons in America.
