From Gustavus Detlef Hinrichs [before 13 August 1868]
Summary
Sends work proving all elements formed of one substance: "Pantogen". Feels affinity with CD. His work will cause as great a stir. Has already been preached against. Asks CD for a note as a token of his sympathy.

To Charles Alexander Johns 13 August [1868?]
Summary
CD not a good enough botanist to form a judgment of specimen. Does not understand whether CAJ supposes the variety to be a result of hybridism or of the present very hot summer, which CD cannot doubt will have an effect on some British plants in their struggle for life.

To G. D. Hinrichs 13 August 1868
Summary
Acknowledges GH’s letter and the lecture on "Faith and science".
Cannot form a judgment on his chemical theory, but if GH establishes his case it will be a magnificent discovery.
"Faith and science" contained many ideas new to CD. Hooker, too, has read it with interest.
