From St G. J. Mivart 24 January 1871
Summary
Is sorry CD found Genesis of species unfairly critical. Assures CD of his just intentions and offers to alter certain words and phrases in a new edition. Emphasises his high regard for CD but fears his views are leading to religious decay.

From St G. J. Mivart 26 January 1871
Summary
Is glad CD does not believe he is biased by an odium theologicum. Comments on the first volume of Descent. Is convinced of the truth of evolution, but believes natural selection plays only a secondary role and that man is fundamentally different from the rest of creation.

From St G. J. Mivart 23 April 1871
Summary
Feels their conflict lies in the field of philosophy rather than in that of physical science. Regrets that they differ so widely.

From St G. J. Mivart 26 September 1871
Summary
Has seen an article by Chauncey Wright ["Darwinism", North Am. Rev. 113 (1871): 63–103] and has heard it has been enlarged and reprinted [1871]. As CD has been distributing copies StGM wonders whether he might have one.

From St G. J. Mivart 4 October 1871
Summary
Thanks for Chauncey Wright’s article. Admits it is clever, but hardly expected CD to think it a serious defence of his position.
