Summary:
Recounts the difficulties in preparing the French translation of Origin: the 1870 war, the illness and death of J. J. Moulinié, the alterations and additions from the 6th English edition. Despite competition from Royer’s three editions, Reinwald is contemplating a new edition.
Descent, vol. 1, has almost sold out. Offers CD £40 for rights to reprint a corrected version of Descent.

Summary:
Pleased that JC-B will review Expression.
Fears he will not be able to improve the book with JC-B’s "wonderfully curious" photographs because Murray printed such a large edition.
Would be glad to have JC-B’s notes on inheritance – "a most important subject".

Summary:
Insists that suckling babies pound and scratch mothers’ breasts. Perhaps CD’s evidence to the contrary comes from ladies, who only expose small portion of bosom, as opposed to working-class women.
