Summary
Thanks JP for bearing in mind his strong wish to learn any facts on inheritance at corresponding ages, and on correlation of growth.

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."
