To John Fiske 21 October [1875]
Many thanks for excellent notice of C. Wright.—1 Will you think me unreasonable for asking of a copy of the Nation with “Darwinism in Germany”?2
C. Darwin
Down, Beckenham, Kent
Oct. 21st.
Footnotes
Fiske probably sent the obituary that had appeared in Nation, 23 September 1875 ([James] 1875). It mentioned Wright’s recent review article (see n. 2, below).
Wright’s article, ‘German Darwinism’ (C. Wright 1875) appeared in Nation, 9 September 1875. See also letter to C. E. Norton, 7 October 1875.
