Acknowledges correction in text of Variation . "You are a most conscientious editor & are as careful as I am apt to be careless."
Has no corrections for second German edition [of Expression]. Plans to bring out an improved edition in a year or two.
Thanks for reference JVC sent.
John Murray has announced his next book [Cross and self-fertilisation] without CD’s knowledge. It is only half-written. JVC will hear when it is published and will decide whether it is worth translating. It will be dry, but, CD believes, of value.
Has read an account of JVC’s Scottish lectures.
Invites JVC to Down.
Regrets he cannot receive JVC at Down on Monday as he would then be too unwell to travel on Tuesday, when he must leave for a visit [to Abinger Hall, according to the Journal].
Has been working hard on Drosera and Dionaea. His next book will be on these plants and not, as he had intended, "On evil effects of Inter breeding".
Informs JVC that he is beginning a second, corrected edition of Descent, in case a new edition is wanted in Germany.
