Glad CD is pleased by his "Erasmus Darwin". Was not able to obtain book by Anna Seward [Memoirs of the life of Dr Darwin (1804)]. Could CD check relevant passages for errors? Would be great honour if CD could arrange English translation. Wants to enlarge essay into book.
Report of wild ass crossed with tame one in India.
Asks whether WSD would be interested in translating Ernst Krause’s article on Erasmus Darwin [Kosmos 4 (1879): 397–424] into English.
Asks RMcL to correct the proper names in enclosed proof of a letter from Fritz Müller to be published in Nature. CD has no book with names of Trichoptera. [See 11930.]
