Has received a letter from Carl Vogt, expressing his readiness to translate Descent at the request of the publisher Franz Anton Ricker
Thanks for proposal about translation [of Descent]. Will write to J. V. Carus to make agreement with publisher.
Hopes JVC’s holding CD’s views only secondary cause of loss of professorship.
Carl Vogt has written that JVC is no longer a professor at Leipzig. Since this circumstance would provide more time to JVC for translation, Vogt withdraws his offer to translate [Descent]. CD asks JVC to accept the right to translate and to negotiate for best terms with whatever publisher he chooses.
