To J. D. Hooker 22 June [1869]
Summary
The house at Barmouth.
His poor health.
Bentham’s interesting Linnean Society Address ["On geographical biology", Proc. Linn. Soc. Lond. (1869): lxv–c].
CD particularly wishes to know how botanists agreed with zoologists on distribution.
Still thinks isolation more important in preserving old forms than Bentham is inclined to believe.

From J. D. Hooker 24 June 1869
Summary
Recounts the trip back from St Petersburg – visits to botanic gardens and museums throughout Western Europe.
Pleased that CD admired Bentham’s address [see 6793]. JDH had read it in MS and modified some very heterodox passages about insularity. CD has hit the flaw in it.
F. A. W. Miquel is a convert.
