Discusses the offer of seeds by his correspondent to Dr. [Joseph Dalton] Hooker of Kew Gardens; relates difficulties over a projected French translation of his On the Origins of Species [a French translation did not appear until 1862]; notes recent French reviews in Revue des Deux Mondes and Bibliographie Universelle. Darwin also comments on his influence with young men, tells of the illness of his daughter and his own ill-health, and refers to a future British Association meeting in Oxford.
