Dear Sir,

A correspondent of mine, Mr. Weisse of Stuttgart,1 is very desirous of publishing a German translation of the work upon which you are now engaged. In case you have not already arranged with a German Translator I shall be very glad if you will permit me to negotiate with you on behalf of my friend.2

I have the honour to be | Dear Sir | yours most respectfully | N Trübner

Charles Darwin Esq
