Down. | Bromley. | Kent. S.E.

Feb. 22nd.

Dear Sir

I send by this Post some sheets of second Edit. with all the few passages marked (except the errata already printed), & will you be so kind as to give any of these corrections, as errata, which may seem to you of any importance.—2

You will be able to insert most of the corrections & additions in Vol. 2.—

Will you kindly attend to addition given at p. 396 Vol I. & insert it, as indicated, as a footnote to Vol. 2.—3

I should esteem it a kindness if you would inform me as soon as you have corrected all the sheets, a few days before the publication of my Book.—

With sincere respect & thanks for the honour which you have done me by undertaking this Translation, I remain | Dear Sir | Yours faithfully & obliged | Ch. Darwin
