To J. D. Hooker 7 August [1869]
Summary
Replies to JDH on Hallett; doubts that already improved varieties do not vary in other respects.
The North British Review article [see 6841] is worth reading "scientifically"; it made CD feel small.
Awaits JDH’s decision on affinities of Drosophyllum and Drosera.
Is curious to see proportion of males to females in recent census in India.

To J. D. Hooker 14 August [1869]
Summary
Faraday memorial is an exception.
George [Darwin] has convinced CD that North British Review article is by P. G. Tait [see 6841].
Surprised that leaves of Drosophyllum are always rolled backwards at their tips, but did not know it was unique character.
