To W. D. Fox 12 May [1862]
Summary
Asks if WDF has ever crossed wild and common turkeys. Would like to quote his authority [see Variation 1: 292].
Also curious whether WDF has known the so-called japanned peacock to appear from common peacock [Variation 1: 290].

To W. D. Fox 20 [September 1862]
Summary
Would like to go to Cambridge [for BAAS meeting]. Reminisces about his student days.
Pleased that WDF likes his book [Orchids]. At one time CD agreed with Lyell that he was an ass to publish it.
