To James Crichton-Browne 4 March [1873]
Summary
Pleased that JC-B will review Expression.
Fears he will not be able to improve the book with JC-B’s "wonderfully curious" photographs because Murray printed such a large edition.
Would be glad to have JC-B’s notes on inheritance – "a most important subject".

From James Crichton-Browne 16 April 1873

Sends 15 studies in expression, acted by his wife.

To James Crichton-Browne 17 April [1873]
Summary
Photographs sent by JC-B show great power of acting.
David Ferrier’s researches sound wonderful. Does he believe that he excites an idea and this leads to the movement, or that he acts directly on the motor nerves?
