Gustavus Hinrichs is also a [not highly regarded] correspondent of JT’s; he will put GH’s papers on the table at Royal Institution to ease CD’s conscience.

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.
