To T. H. Huxley 4 October [1865]
Summary
Has done nothing since 1 May. Slowly getting better under Bence Jones’s diet.
The Reader has been sold – would regret its failure as a newspaper for general science.
Pangenesis is recovering from shock it received from THH’s criticism.

To T. H. Huxley [17 July 1865]
Summary
Has read Buffon; whole pages are like his own. But CD is not converted to non-belief. There is a fundamental distinction between Pangenesis and Buffon. Fears he may not resist publishing it, but will be cautious.
