To Charles Kingsley 1 December [1859]
Summary
Is very glad CK wrote the article My Winter Garden (Kingsley 1858), which CD enjoyed.
Thinks CK should read abstracts of Living Cirripedia (1851) and Living Cirripedia (1854), and then, if he is particularly interested, borrow the actual volumes, rather than purchase them.

Summary
Will judge CD’s book [Origin] free from two superstitions: the dogma of the permanent species and the need of an act of intervention to bring change.

To W. D. Fox 25 December [1859]
Summary
His poor health keeps him from work.
His book [Origin] is a success "in the ordinary sense" – has had to reprint another 3000 copies.
Will now begin his "bigger book" which he plans to publish in three separate volumes with distinct titles and also a general title.

All sheets [of Origin, 2d ed.] are ready. Has made a few corrections

Intends to start immediately on the "larger work", with a distinct title.
Fears reviews will be unfavourable but is confident his views will ultimately prevail.
Asks about plans for French edition.
Thanks JM for his exertions on behalf of sales of Origin.
