To J. D. Hooker 17 November [1867]
Summary
Has finished last revise of his book [Variation].
Is curious to know what JDH thinks of Pangenesis. It is fearfully imperfect, yet satisfying, for it connects large groups of facts by an intelligible thread.
Thomas Woolner is coming [to do a bust of CD].

To J. D. Hooker 26 November [1868]
Summary
CD thought Watson’s article beastly in its criticisms of JDH. Watson’s criticism of CD was not new or important, but fair, so CD could honestly thank him, adding his regret at what was said about JDH.
Is sitting for Woolner bust.
Has read James Croll on alternation of glacial and warmer periods in north and south, which would remove JDH’s objections to cool period extending to equator.
