To J. D. Hooker 7 August [1869]
Summary
Replies to JDH on Hallett; doubts that already improved varieties do not vary in other respects.
The North British Review article [see 6841] is worth reading "scientifically"; it made CD feel small.
Awaits JDH’s decision on affinities of Drosophyllum and Drosera.
Is curious to see proportion of males to females in recent census in India.

To J. D. Hooker 13 November [1869]
Summary
Congratulates JDH on his becoming a C.B.
Hard at work on sexual selection – weary of everlasting males and females, cocks and hens.
Has read J. H. Stirling vs Huxley on protoplasm [As regards protoplasm (1869)]
and E. B. Tylor on survival of old thoughts in modern civilisation.
Bentham’s Linnean Society [Presidential] Address [see 6793] is worth its weight in gold in making converts. C. J. F. Bunbury is impressed by it.
Likes JDH’s review of K. F. Schimper’s work [Paléontologie végétale, in Nature 1 (1869): 48].

Summary

To A. R. Wallace 21 October 1869

Anticipates that all their differences are fated to find expression in projected book on man.

From J. D. Hooker 13 August 1869
Summary
Did not intend to imply that Hallett said variation stopped, but that it arrives at a point where further accumulation in direction sought is so slow as to result practically in fixity of type – but not absolute fixity.
Duke of Argyll has requested JDH to superintend publication of a flora of India. JDH thinks he [Argyll] is paying him off for his kick at natural theology.
Willy [Hooker] returning from New Zealand.
A unique character in Drosophyllum.
Sees no reason for CD to contribute to Ross and Faraday memorials.

Summary
Glad to know about C.B.
Thinks better of Nature than JDH does.
Likes Academy.
Is reading Anton Kerner on Tubocytisus [in Die Abhängigkeit der Pflanzen von Klima und Boden (1869)].
The genealogical tree reveals the very steps of the formation of the species.
Mlle Royer has brought out a third edition of her translation of the Origin without informing CD, so corrections to fourth and fifth English editions are lost. Has arranged for a new translator of the fifth English edition.

To Nature 13 November [1869]
Summary
Comments on A. W. Bennett’s letter [Nature 1 (1869): 58] on fertilisation of winter-flowering plants. CD used net, not a bell-glass to cover Lamium.
Refers to F. Delpino’s observations on fertilisation of grasses; CD is glad to say these observations are compatible with "the very general law that distinct individual plants must be occasionally crossed".
