Summary:
Has suggested WDF’s name to Hooker and Henslow, who are sending a circular for aid to John Ralfs.
Is working steadily at his abstract, hopes to publish in spring.
Asks if WDF has seen a donkey with double shoulder stripe; also, has he seen a black greyhound with tan feet and a tan spot over each eye? "Such must exist because theory tells me it ought!"
