Kindt had offered to send an article from the German serial publication Unsere Zeit (Schönemann 1863) in which CD’s scientific achievements were described. See letter from Hermann Kindt, 11 October 1864.

In his letter of 11 October 1864, Kindt had asked for the name of a photographer from whom he might buy a portrait of CD. Emma probably enclosed the photograph taken earlier in the year by William Erasmus Darwin (see letter from W. E. Darwin, [19 May 1864] and n. 8, and frontispiece to this volume).
