Comments on discussions with C. Reinwald concerning French edition of Expression.
Acknowledges JS’s excellent letter of 25 September. May CD assume that the gigantic worm-casts were nearly circular when measured before the rain?
That a medical man should always have the place of superintendent seems a piece of jobbery.
Mentions [George] King.
JS’s thin paper renders some words on other side almost illegible.
Thanks JVC for his criticisms and corrections of Expression. Asks him to alter his translation accordingly.
Discusses distribution of presentation copies of Expression. Sends instructions for mailing his copies. Discusses negotiations with C. Reinwald concerning French edition. Suggests journals to receive review copies.
Requests the address of Frederick Geach so that he may send him his book [Expression].
Asks for address of a Mrs Barber somewhere in South Africa.
JDH’s letter in Nature [6 (1872): 516–17] is excellent, and wonderfully quiet.
Severely criticises Owen’s conduct.
Requests the address of F. F. Geach so that he may send him his book [Expression].
Asks to see notes on Indian worm-castings.
Has finished Expression.
His strength fails more and more; needs to rest every six weeks or so.
Much obliged for GHK and MHC’s General glaciation [of Iar-Connaught (1872)].
Dionaea plants have arrived. Just ready to observe some points in their structure.
Has Murray sent Expression book?
