To James Paget 14 July 1879
Summary
Returns an "old book" [? Baeta, Comparative view of the theories and practice of Drs Cullen, Brown and Darwin (1800); see Erasmus Darwin, p. 107]. Glad to see that Dr Erasmus Darwin’s views on fever were attended to.
Fears his life of Dr Darwin will be a poor affair. "Never again will I be tempted out of my proper work."
