To G. H. Darwin [19 August 1875]
If your Review is published & you have alluded to the Rabbit case, I think that you ought to send a supplement. Indeed in any case this seems worth doing. I will try & get the book where Mr Legrain is exposed, & you can see it when here. I shd. like the letter returned, but it had better perhaps be first sent to Mr Huth, for whom I am sorry1

What an extraordinary piece of good luck it was that I wrote to Van Beneden.2
