Summary:
Thinks third edition of Origin should advertise "additions and corrections", for the additions are important. They will add 30 pages to the book; there will also be a short historical sketch. Asks for some copies for friends.
Also curious to know how Journal of researches has sold. The new issue seemed a rash venture to him.
