Summary:
Thanks JSH for his defence [see 2794].
He is not hurt for long by what his attackers say. His conclusions were arrived at after long study. He has certainly erred, but not so much as "Sedgwick and Co." think.
Asks JSH to send names of plants that vary greatly in length of pistil.

DAR 93: A74–5
Summary:
Discusses Charles Daubeny’s views on sexuality of plants [Rep. BAAS 30 (1860) pt 2: 109–10]. "There is no greater mystery in the whole world, as it seems to me, than the existence of sexes, – more especially since the discovery of Parthenogenesis."
Says apropos of the FitzRoy Bible incident [at Oxford BAAS meeting], "I think his mind is often on verge of insanity."

Thanks JSH for account of his activities in Hitcham. Says he is unable to visit JSH in October as he is going to the seaside. Comments on the poor harvest, saying it must be bad in JSH’s part of Suffolk. States that potato harvest has been worse than ever, and he is planting the Chinese yam as a replacement.
