From Hubert Airy 16 July 1872
Summary
Thanks CD for reading his MS [8412] and for his suggestions.
Clarifies his statement on the contraction of the bud-axis: did not mean to imply that this contraction occurred in an individual’s life-time, rather that it was the effect, after the course of ages, of successive favourable modifications.
Believes the true theory of phyllotaxy will give a convincing illustration and proof of the theory of evolution.

To J. V. Carus 16 July 1872
Summary
Will send second proofs of Expression.
Glad JVC has finished translating Origin.
Assures him that Mivart’s book [On the genesis of species (1871)] has produced a great effect in England and America. CD has discussed incipient structures at some length because it enabled him to give many cases of gradation.
Asks JVC to note that he does not vouch for Expression’s being worth translating.
