Summary
Thanks for AG’s trouble about the seeds. Is curious to see their germination and the early seedling growth.
Asks for cotton seeds, as he observes odd movements of the cotyledon.

To John Fordyce 7 May 1879
Summary
Believes it absurd to doubt that a man may be an ardent theist and evolutionist; gives the examples of Kingsley and Asa Gray. As regards CD’s own views, his judgement often fluctuates but "I have never been an Atheist in the sense of denying the existence of God". Thinks that "generally (and more and more as I grow older) … an Agnostic would be the most correct description of my state of mind".
