Dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | Francis Darwin

See letter to C.-F. Reinwald, 29 October 1879. Krause had heard that Charles-Ferdinand Reinwald, who published French translations of CD’s works, intended to publish only CD’s portion of the translation of Erasmus Darwin; CD wrote a letter to encourage Reinwald to publish Krause’s portion also, but in the event no translation was published. See letter from Ernst Krause, 20 October 1879.
