To Francis Darwin [28 February 1871]
Summary
Says Descent is "selling like Mad.––" Murray will print another 1500 or 2000 copies. Has received £630 for the 2500.
On Monday he visited Mivart, who is a charming man.
He seemed to be taken aback by CD’s points about the larynx and giraffe.
[See 7507 and 7519.]
He seemed to have forgotten CD’s argument regarding the formation of the greyhound.
Discussed the larynx and the silence of the Cetaceans.
If FD mentions any of this to [Marlborough Robert] Pryor, ask him not to mention it to anyone else "as it is perhaps rather a breach of confidence to repeat even to friends private conversation."
