Everything that I have sent, (notes, photographs &c) is unreservedly at your disposal3

Footnotes

The enclosure has not been identified but may have been the letter from James Crichton-Browne, [29–31 March 1871]. CD had asked for information on the effects of attention on capillary circulation (see letter to James Crichton-Browne, 28 March [1871]), and the reaction of the pupils in extreme anger or fear (see letters to James Crichton-Browne, 20 February [1871], and 26 March [1871]).
See letter to James Crichton-Browne, 26 March [1871] and n. 4. The next extant letter from Crichton-Browne that mentions the enclosure of photographs is that of 3 April 1871.

Sends scraps of information. Everything he has sent is unreservedly at CD’s disposal.
