Nov 24th 1881

Dear Sir

I duely received with many thanks your favor of Nov. 2d with the Errata for your book on Earthworms, the translation of which is in the ha⁠⟨⁠n⁠⟩⁠ds of the printers.1

Prof. Heckel’s translation of your Movement of Plants is on the point of being issued. Prof Heckel intends to give a preface to it, which I shall accept only if you have no objection to it.2

I hand you herewith the proof sheets of it and beg to let me know your intention.

Our young french authors need to be nearly controlled!

Waiting for your kind reply | I am, dear Sir, | yours most respectfully | C Reinwald

To Ch. Darwin Esq Down
