To G. D. Hinrichs 13 August 1868
Summary
Acknowledges GH’s letter and the lecture on "Faith and science".
Cannot form a judgment on his chemical theory, but if GH establishes his case it will be a magnificent discovery.
"Faith and science" contained many ideas new to CD. Hooker, too, has read it with interest.
