To J. J. Weir 16 October 1871
Summary
Cannot accept JJW’s invitation to a party. His health has been worse than usual for some months – can see no one nor can he go anywhere.
Is preparing a cheap edition of the Origin [6th] and will answer Mivart’s objections.
CD is pleased JJW likes C. Wright’s "Darwinism" [see 7940]. Huxley will publish a splendid review of it in Contemporary Review [Nov 1871].
