From Thomas Rivers 30 January 1863
Summary
Asks CD’s views on TR’s observations that leaves breathe from their under-surfaces.
Peach-trees in hothouses cannot be kept in health unless fresh air is admitted so as to make its way under the leaves.
Continues his observations on the effect of environment on men – those migrating to America gradually assuming Indian-like features.
