DCP-LETT-8752

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
James Paget, 1st baronet
Date:
29 Jan [1873?]
Source of text:
Wellcome Collection (MS.5703/37)
Summary:

Has heard from Ashwin Conway Newman of Guy’s Hospital of a case of a child without any prepuce whose father was a renegade, uncircumcised Jew, but whose ancestors had all been Jews. Newman thinks this a good case of inheritance with reversion. JP’s letter [missing] now shows how rash such a conclusion would be.
