Refers to ARW letters that Darwin had forwarded to Hooker. Criticises ARW for saying that Scientific men are afraid to say what they think.
Darwin agrees with Hooker's comments about ARW in Hooker's letter of 6 Oct 1865. Hooker's letter he describes ARW as: "... not a man of large sympathies, nor very charitable I think, & is certainly awfully cold & dry at times; yet he is essentially large minded, & very able".
