To ?   4 July [1877?]1

Bassett, Southampton

4 July 1878

[Passes judgment upon a photograph of embryological interest submitted to him.]

Footnotes

The date given in the sale catalogue is 4 July 1878, but the only year in which a visit by CD to Southampton is associated with July is 1877, and in that year CD left Southampton on 4 July (CD’s ‘Journal’, Correspondence vol. 25, Appendix II). The year is therefore conjectured as 1877, but it is possible that some other part of the date given is incorrect.

Summary

Passes judgment on photo of embryological interest.
