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.

Faraday memorial is an exception.
George [Darwin] has convinced CD that North British Review article is by P. G. Tait [see 6841].

From J. D. Hooker 14 November 1869
Summary
Describes how the offer of C.B. was made. He declined a knighthood. Murchison and Lyell are trying to get him made Knight Commander of the Star of India, but he does not think there is a chance. The Duke [of Argyll?] might do it, but does not like JDH’s Darwinism.
Next Presidency of Royal Society discussed: all (Brodie, the X Club botanists, et al.) are agreed on Lyell.
Everyone is disappointed with Nature.
What did CD think of "Huxley’s rhapsody on Goethe’s ditto" [Nature 1 (1869): 9–11]?

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.

Summary
The house at Barmouth.
His poor health.
Bentham’s interesting Linnean Society Address ["On geographical biology", Proc. Linn. Soc. Lond. (1869): lxv–c].
CD particularly wishes to know how botanists agreed with zoologists on distribution.
Still thinks isolation more important in preserving old forms than Bentham is inclined to believe.

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.

From J. D. Hooker 24 June 1869
Summary
Recounts the trip back from St Petersburg – visits to botanic gardens and museums throughout Western Europe.
Pleased that CD admired Bentham’s address [see 6793]. JDH had read it in MS and modified some very heterodox passages about insularity. CD has hit the flaw in it.
F. A. W. Miquel is a convert.

Summary
F. C. Donders has been to lunch – a good "Darwinian"!
JDH’s speech of resignation [as BAAS President] at Exeter was charming [Rep. BAAS (1869)]. JDH should have been an ambassador.
Has received Indian census.

Summary
Huxley has shown him the jaws of an Anoplotherium brought from the Gallegos by R. O. Cunningham.
Saw Hallett’s wheat crops at Brighton; results of his selection very striking.
Huxley is assembling his Darwiniana papers for republication.
Has written a crushing reply to Richard Congreve ["The scientific aspects of positivism", Fortn. Rev. n.s. 5 (1869): 653–70] and JDH feels "infantine" beside him.

New Zealand genera are interesting and have perplexed him for years.
Has read paper on snakes. Thinks it is not fascination but fear that makes the victim fall into snake’s power.
