From Ernst Haeckel 9 [July 1864]
Summary
No book has made such a powerful impression on EH as the Origin. Most older German scholars opposed to it, but number of supporters growing among the young. Fortunately strength of religious dogmas now small among educated Germans. Situation in Jena especially favourable. Defended CD’s theory last year at Congress of German Scientists in Stettin.
Intends special study of jellyfish.
Plans general work on natural history.
Hard fate [death of Anna Sethe Haeckel] has made EH indifferent to criticism.
Colleagues August Schleicher and Carl Gegenbaur also convinced by CD’s theory.
