Description:
‘My Dear Pearson,
...
There is nothing for you to explain about the L[ondon]. H[ospital]. lectures. Mudge, who is giving 3 lectures on Mendelism (of which the 1st was last Wed.) is a fluent & plausible speaker who, in addition to his fluency, rather plays to the Gallery with the results one knows in an audience of med. students. He had some diagrams showing comparison between “expectation” & “result” in the 3 theories of inheritance (Galton, Pearson, Mendel); they had been constructed by Castle & ... ? (I forget) – neither I nor the rest of the audience of students could criticize them (I daresay there were a few instructed hearers who could); but I for one should not dream of accepting them without enquiry.
... I don’t think anyone need bother about saying curative things to Mudge; he is not worth the trouble, but he has his uses.
Yrs Sincerely,
E. Nettleship.
