Looks forward to a visit from JVC and family in August.
Sheets of vol. 1 of Descent [2d ed.] are going to printer;
new edition of Coral reefs is half printed.
Would be glad to hear of a collected edition of his works [in Germany], but has no opinion on how it would sell. Has been surprised to learn that in England some think uniform collected works sell best. Tells JVC his publication plans and other details to guide him on extent of a "collected works".
Descent corrections have been laborious and troublesome.
