Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Francis Darwin

[after 21 Jan 1871]
Source of text:
Sotheby’s (dealers) (28 March 1983)
Summary:

Responds to Mivart’s Genesis of species. "I complain of his incessently speaking as if I trusted exclusively to natural selection … Mivart speaks in many places as if I entirely ignored the direct action of external conditions". Answers some of Mivart’s particular criticisms. Suggests FD read the letter to Marlborough Robert Pryor, as Pryor will never be able to read it himself.
