Am I to send the "Gardener's Chronicle" on, and where? please. I have mislaid the address.
Jermyn Street, October 25, 1858.
My dear Spencer,
I read your article on the "Archetype" the other day with great delight, particularly the phrase which puts the Owenian and Cummingian interpolations on the same footing. It is rayther strong, but quite just.
I do not remember a word to object to, but I think I could have strengthened your argument in one or two places. Having eaten the food, will you let me have back the dish? I am winding up the "Croonian," and want "L'Archetype" to refer to. So if you can let me have it I shall be obliged. When do you return?
Ever yours faithfully,
T.H. Huxley.

My dearest Lizzie,
