Seeks CD’s support as a candidate for Edinburgh Chair in Natural History.
Testimonial letter hoping that CWT will be successful in getting Chair of Natural History at Edinburgh.
Is sorting material collected by the Challenger and wonders whether CD would care to examine the cirripedes.
Some years ago he would have been delighted to take up the Cirripedia collected on the Challenger expedition, but feels that the subject has largely passed out of his mind.
Wants CD’s advice on who would undertake describing the Crustacea from the Challenger expedition [1872–6].
Seeks CD’s support for W. C. M’Intosh, candidate for Chair in Natural History at Aberdeen.
