To G. C. Robertson   13 July [1877]¹

My dear Sir.

I do not know whether you will ever receive this, but I write to thank you very much for the 50 Copies—a most magnificent supply.

I guessed why I did not hear from you & ventured to send a copy to M. Aglave.—²

Several Germans have asked permission to translate the little article & I have assumed that you would not object. if they thought it worth while.³

Yours sincerely & obliged | Ch Darwin.
