From John Scott [3 June 1863]
Summary
Thanks CD for influence used with Hooker to obtain a colonial position. Has offended J. H. Balfour by refusing the Darjeeling post and James McNab has become unfriendly, although his experiments do not detract from his garden work.
Will write Primula paper for Linnean Society as CD suggests.
His Darwinism is unpalatable at Edinburgh Botanic Garden.
Describes results with non-dimorphic Primula species. Such cases do not accord with CD’s view that characters are slowly acquired.
Thanks for criticism of his writing style.
