From T. H. Huxley 16 April 1874
4 Marlborough Place | NW
April 16 1874
My dear Darwin—
Put my contribution into the smallest type admissible for it will be read by none but anatomists; and never mind where it goes—1
I am glad you agree with me about the hand & foot and skull question2 As Ward said of Mills opinions—you can only account for the view of Messrs. Aeby Lucae & Co on the supposition of “grave personal sin’ on his part—3
I had a letter from Dohrn a day or two ago in which he tells me he has written to you4
I suspect he has been very ill—
Let us know when you are in Town | & believe me | Ever Yours very faithfully | T. H. Huxley
