From Charles-Ferdinand Reinwald   [May 1867]1

⁠⟨⁠half page missing⁠⟩⁠ of the wood-cuts from Mrs. Murray for the price of £10.—and to let you have six copies of our translation.2

I am highly gratified by this kind proposal which I accept with pleasure for my part, and hope that Prof. Carl Vogt will not only give his advice to our french translator Col. Moulinié, but allow me to put his name on the title piece as being done under his direction.3

⁠⟨⁠half page missing⁠⟩⁠ honoured to be in ⁠⟨⁠3 or 4 words⁠⟩⁠ of your highly deserved reputation and celebrity and beg to believe me

Dear Sir | Your most obedient Servant | C Reinwald

John Murray was the publisher of Variation. This letter evidently concerned arrangements for the publication of a French translation of Variation by Reinwald’s firm. See letter from Carl Vogt, 23 April 1867.
