From W. E. Darwin [19 November 1871]1
6 Queen A St.
Sunday
My dear Father,
I am here for the Sunday & Uncle Ras has read Chap VII & is very much interested.2 He suggests one point at the bottom of p 176. You say “My judgment may be worth little”. He says may not this strike people as a piece of Gladstonian humility, it did not strike me so as I saw at once that it meant unbiassed—
Uncle Ras proposes My judgment may be not impartial or something to that effect.3
p. 189 Hippo campus should be one word— I have some more sheets which I hope to send in a day or two—4
Your affect son | W E Darwin
