Description:
‘My very dear Wife,
... All has gone quite smoothly here & not even the dogs have shown any serious ups & downs, except refusing now & again their meals & Ling today with the coughing up of froth which never seems to mean anything serious...
There is a most ridiculous paper on Mendelism in this month’s American Naturalist. I should call it the dirge of the Mendelian unit character, but the most of these folk are so dense that they will not even perceive how their friends give them away! I think I should like to purchase a dozen copies & send them round to Mendelians. The third number of Mudge’s[?] Mendel Journal is out, but I have not seen it & don’t intend to buy a copy. I wonder it survives. Only other fight news [sic] is a post card from an American – unknown as to name – saying that the Journal of Experimental Zoology has a paper by Pearl on my work. – à la Yule. I summarize but it certainly does not pay to train pupils, give them ideas & write papers for them! I have just had a good walk via Parliament Fields, Cutthroat Lane & Highgate with the dogs & I dine with the Petries tonight, so I am not gloomy. I shall try to go & see [K.P.’s] A[unt]. L[izzie]. [White] tomorrow – it is at least good for the dogs.
Love to Letty & Helga. Ever your own,
K.P.’
