To G. J. Romanes 25 [January 1882]1
Down
25th
My dear R.
The enclosed received this morning. Possibly they may be worth taking to the Linn. Soc.—2
I quite agree about the Grant Allen affair—3
Yours very sincerely | C. Darwin
Footnotes
The month and year are established by the references to the Linnean Society and the Grant Allen affair (see nn. 2 and 3, below).
The enclosure has not been found; it probably related to the paper that Romanes planned to present at the Linnean Society on graft hybrids of sugar cane (see letter to G. J. Romanes, 6 January 1882 and nn. 1 and 2).
CD and Romanes had agreed to give Grant Allen a microscope, but were considering when to present the gift (see letter to G. J. Romanes, 20 January 1882 and n. 2).
Summary
Agrees about Grant Allen affair.
