To A. C. Ramsay 5 September [1862]
Summary
On ACR’s paper on glacial origin of lakes. CD thinks it is correct. Suggests further investigation to corroborate it. His only doubt has to do with areas of great activity.
On ACR’s view of cause of glacial period: CD did battle with Hooker on same point.
T. F. Jamieson has smashed CD’s Glen Roy marine theory in splendid style.

To A. C. Ramsay 14 December [1862]
Summary
Thanks ACR for Catalogue; pleased some of his volcanic specimens have been included.
Will review T. F. Jamieson’s paper on Glen Roy. Knows the facts and knows too well that he [CD] is everlastingly smashed.
