From J. J. Aubertin 16 January 1872
Summary
A friend of JJA’s wants CD’s opinion on whether the disease porigo decalvans (hair falling out in clumps) demonstrates the link between man and dogs and has continued to evolve with man after he passed out of his "hairy-animal state".
Capt. [Richard?] Burton disagrees with CD’s notion of beauty in the abstract, and would like to meet him.
