Will use new English edition [5th, of Origin] in preparing for [4th] German edition. Bronn’s translation of Origin in the title as "Entstehung" is not so precise as "Ursprung" would be. The publisher does not object to changing the title, but JVC is doubtful, because the Origin is so well known in Germany as Entstehung. Asks CD’s opinion.
Note to accompany the reported observations of JH's son John.
Will JH be able to attend the forthcoming meeting of the Board of Visitors? If not would he inform the Board of his intentions.
