DCP-LETT-9864

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Francis Burges Goodacre
Date:

Source of text:
Dr John Goodacre (private collection)
Summary:

Thanks FBG for his essay. Thinks FBG’s planned collection would be very useful but is ‘not sanguine of success’. Most naturalists do not care about domesticated productions. ‘A strong remnant of the feeling yet survives that there is a marked distinction between varieties & species, & naturalists regard only the latter.’
