Dear Sir,
My father directs me to express his thanks to you for your letter & for the errata to which you are good enough to call his attention.1
He is very sorry to learn that your part will not appear with his in French; as regards the difference with Reinwald my father (from his knowledge of R’s character) cannot for a moment believe that he would be influenced by such trivial feelings as antagonism to the Germans2
My father will be glad to give you any information in his power about the characters in his Biography to which you allude
Yours faithfully | Francis Darwin
P.S. | Reinwald always gives my Father a small percentage on his works,3 & my father intended to hand over to you any profits that might thus arise from the sale of the French edit of yours & his joint work.
