to strike out [my - crossed out] the references to Miss
Howitt
's work which I have provision-
ally introduced into it, in case
her answer should be unfavourable.

I had a long and interesting
letter from Mr Fison lately. I
heard with concern of the serious
operation he had to undergo, but I
trust that he is greatly benefited
by it. If you see him, will you
kindly say to him that I will
try to write him before very long
and to meet his wishes with
regard to writing a short paper for
the Australian Association. But he
must not expect much. I am so
busy with the new edition of my
book that only my personal
regard for Mr Fison leads me to
attempt what otherwise I would
hardly at present undertake. But I
fear the paper, if I succeed in
beating out one at all, will be short
