From Thomas Henry Huxley 1 January 1865
Summary
Sends photograph.
THH wishes he could write the popular zoology but writing is a boring and slow process when he is not interested, and he is overburdened with lectures.

To T. H. Huxley 30 May [1865]

Thanks for THH’s willingness to read Pangenesis MS. Thinks some such view will have to be adopted but it overthrows, in an uncomfortable manner, ordinary development.

To T. H. Huxley 12 July [1865]

Thanks THH for reading Pangenesis MS. Will read Buffon and Bonnet (as he does not want to republish their views) and will try to persuade himself not to publish.

To T. H. Huxley [17 July 1865]
Summary
Has read Buffon; whole pages are like his own. But CD is not converted to non-belief. There is a fundamental distinction between Pangenesis and Buffon. Fears he may not resist publishing it, but will be cautious.

To T. H. Huxley 4 October [1865]
Summary
Has done nothing since 1 May. Slowly getting better under Bence Jones’s diet.
The Reader has been sold – would regret its failure as a newspaper for general science.
Pangenesis is recovering from shock it received from THH’s criticism.
