Ever yours very faithfully,
T.H. Huxley.
Pray give my kind remembrances to your father.

My dear Darwin,
The brain business is more than half done, and I will soon polish it off and send it to you. [A note on the brain in man and the apes for the second edition of the "Descent of Man.">[ We are going down to Folkestone for a week on Thursday, and I shall take it with me.
I do not know what is doing about Dohrn's business at present. Foster took it in hand, but the last time I heard he was waiting for reports from Dew and Balfour.
You have been very generous as always; and I hope that other folk may follow your example, but like yourself I am not sanguine.
I have had an AWFULLY tempting offer to go to Yankee-land on a lecturing expedition, and I am seriously thinking of making an experiment next spring.
The chance of clearing two or three thousand pounds in as many months is not to be sneezed at by a pere de famille. I am getting sick of the state of things here.
