To Lawson Tait 17 January [1877]
Summary
CD has only a trifling point to make in criticism [of RLT’s excerpt from Diseases of women]: he believes "the high value of well-bred males is due to their transmitting their good qualities to a far greater number of offspring than can the female".

To Lawson Tait 15 June [1877]
Summary
Thanks RLT for his work, Diseases of women.
CD is also interested by RLT’s letter reporting a cat rearing chickens. "What a wonderful instinct is the maternal one."

To Lawson Tait 13 November [1877]
Summary
CD declines to write for RLT’s new journal. He is not fitted for the work and dislikes it particularly. It costs loss of time as he "cannot change with ease from one job to another".
