To Ernst Krause   15 September 1879

My dear Sir,

I quite agree to what you propose, & I cannot see any objection to the title as it now stands.¹ Whenever I receive the sheets with the additions, they shall be sent to Paris. But I do not yet know positively that there will be a French translation; M^r Reinwald & M. Barbier the translator both said that a translation should be published, but I advised them not to decide until they had looked at the original.²

As I am so poor a german Scholar I will not read over your sheets.

All the remaining sheets of my preliminary notice have been sent to Karl Alberts.³ I will write to M^r Dallas⁴ & tell him that you would like to see his translation, & will ask him to send the sheets to K. Alberts as, if I understand rightly, that will be your address until Oct 1.

My dear Sir | Yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin

P.S. | I have now ascertained that the autotype of D^r Darwin will cost £7 per 1000 copies, if printed the same size as my book which is demi-octavo; but if larger they will cost £7–17–6 or £8–2–6 per 1000⁵
