To James Dwight Dana 30 July [1860]
Summary
Has been able to do nothing in science of late due to illness [of Henrietta].
When JDD reads Origin, CD knows he will be opposed to it, but he will be liberal and philosophical, which is more than he can say for his English opponents.
Has not yet seen L. Agassiz’s attack, but in principle avoids answering.
No one understands Origin so well as Asa Gray.
At BAAS meeting at Oxford, CD’s side seems almost to have got the best of the battle.
