30 Cumberland Road,
Kew.
24th Jan[uar]y. 1911.
My Dear Meldola1,
I am very sorry indeed to hear you are on the sick list and hope you will soon shake off the troublesome infliction.
My letter is merely responsive to your appeal & supplementary to Thiselton Dyer's2[.]
Yes! It is painful reading those last chapters of A.R.W.! How C.D.3 would have grieved over them, for he [2] really loved A.R.W. But he would have sadly said "another of my friends making a fool of himself by entering on speculative writing after 60 years of age."
Huxley4 would have wanted his "strangulation" remedy to be applied.
I will do my best to repudiate, on the part of science, all this nonsense — without giving pain to the old man,
Yours very faithfully, | J. W. Judd [signature]
