Source of text:
Universitätsbibliothek Leipzig, Sondersammlungen (Sammlung Nebauer)
Summary:

Thanks RFA for extracts.

Does not believe resemblances can be produced as RFA suggests, but would not deny that a strong mental shock may cause arrest of embryonic development and thus give rise to monstrosities.

DCP-LETT-8013

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Jenner Weir
Date:
16 Oct 1871
Source of text:
Oxford University Museum of Natural History (Hope Entomological Collections 1349)
Summary:

Cannot accept JJW’s invitation to a party. His health has been worse than usual for some months – can see no one nor can he go anywhere.

Is preparing a cheap edition of the Origin [6th] and will answer Mivart’s objections.

CD is pleased JJW likes C. Wright’s "Darwinism" [see 7940]. Huxley will publish a splendid review of it in Contemporary Review [Nov 1871].
