Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | (Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.)

Nov. 26th 1881

My dear Sir

I have introduced a few additions & made a few corrections to my book on Worms, in the 5th thousandth which is now printing. I send by this post the corrected proof-sheets & few M.S additions, which I think are worth inserting. All the corrected passages are marked, so it will not take you much time to find the corresponding places—1 In Haste | My dear Sir | yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin

Carus was preparing the German translation of Earthworms (Carus trans. 1882). CD had previously sent a short list of corrections that were made to the fifth thousand of the English edition (letter to J. V. Carus, 2 November 1881). CD’s list of additions has not been found; in the German edition, a section of additions followed the main text (Carus trans. 1882, pp. 178–9).
