Summary:
Is glad to hear of new German edition of Descent, but owing to his extensive revisions, corrected sheets will not be ready for about three months.
Is working on a new edition of Coral reefs, which he thinks would sell in Germany.
Would like to hear "out of curiosity & vanity" how many copies of his books have been sold in Germany.
