William Darwin Fox
Date:
30 Nov [1864]
Source of text:
Christ’s College Library, Cambridge (MS 53 Fox 145)
Summary:

The Copley Medal is considered a great honour, but such things make little difference to CD, except for the several kind letters he received. It shows that natural selection is making some progress.

His health is poor.

Work is crawling on Variation;

occasional botany recreative.
