To Patrick Matthew 13 June [1862]
Summary
It would be a pleasure to see "the first enunciator of the theory of Natural Selection" but his health makes it impossible. Hopes to come to London soon and would like to arrange an interview with PM if he is staying more than a week.

From Patrick Matthew 12 March 1871
Summary
Encloses an article he wrote for the Scotsman [9 Mar 1871, p. 5].
Wishes he had time to write a critique of Descent. There is evidence of design and benevolence in nature. Beauty cannot be accounted for by natural selection.

To Patrick Matthew 15 March [1871]
Summary
PM’s letter and newspaper article [see 7576] show him to be still vigorous. CD doubts that he himself will be good for much more.
