CD has already agreed that Julius Victor Carus will translate his next book.
Thanks AR for specimens of fruit.
Thanks CB for Transylvania [1865].
CD’s health has declined steadily. He must now be content to read about nature as described by CB and others.
Has just sent MS of Descent to printers. Recognises that [because of Franco-Prussian War] the publisher will have given up idea of a German translation.
Though the war is a misfortune for science, CD rejoices at the wonderful success of Germany; has met no one who does not share this feeling.
Thanks HS for a copy of his book [? Die Thierzucht (1868)].
Sympathetic to JVC’s views on Franco-Prussian war [see 7332].
Astonished at JVC’s readiness to begin work. Will send sheets as soon as possible. Has asked Murray to charge for stereotypes of 64 woodblocks at cost. JVC must make his own agreement with publisher.
Sends first four sheets [of Descent]. Murray charges £14 for the 64 stereotypes.
Cannot supply copies of woodcuts from Brehm’s Illustrirtes Thierleben [1864–9]. Hopes JVC’s publisher will be able to arrange to include them.
