To John Murray 29 September [1870]
Summary
CD did not promise Appleton stereotypes of text [of Descent]; only of cuts.
Wishes to know which passage JM thought "coarse". Remembers only a quotation from John Hunter on courtship of female being required "to give her desires" [Descent 1: 273]. He fancied a quotation rendered the sentence less coarse.
