From J. D. Hooker 3 November 1866
Summary
Left strict orders about Euryale seeds but "labour, difficulty and expense of getting anything done scientifically by practical men is untold".
The E. J. Eyre controversy [Jamaica uprising]. Odd that Huxley joins the "persecution fund". The principles involved are fiddlesticks.

To Thomas Laxton 3 November [1866]
Summary
Has examined TL’s crossed peas. Observes that in several lots crossed peas are smooth, like paternal stock, not wrinkled like maternal stock. Is this a result of mere variation, peculiar culture, or pollen of the father?
Encloses queries [missing].
Intends planting peas at once if TL approves.
