From W. Baranoff and Heinrich Koch [after 31 October? 1871]1
Mr. Ch. D., Down.
We received your last letter and are glad of the acknowledgement pronounced by you.2 Your opinion, that the bearing of science on religion is a most abstruse subject, is very true; but we cannot but give a hint in this respect, as we work in the field of Psychology. Therefore our third lecture shall contain a history of creation from the point of a Darwinian; God; future life; especially the question: Why are men on earth and what is their duty; an ethical view of the Darwinism.3 To the last question your remarks on the connexion between the two sexes are very important. We hope, that your health will soon be restored!
Yours Dr. W. B. and H. K.
