From V. O. Kovalevsky   [after 12 August 1872]1

British Museum

Tuesday

Dear Sir!

I am very happy if I could be of any use to You with Wundt’s book, I am looking over the first volume now but find little interesting for You, still after having marked the point that may interest You I will send the vol. to Down.2

If Thursday is not inconvenient for You, and the day is fine (as I shall have to walk from Orpington), I will with Your permission call early in the afternoon, returning back by the evening train.—3

Very truly Yours | W. Kowalevsky

Ch. X 2. 35— 3. 11— 4.— 4. 49—

8. 20— from Orp.4

1
The date is established by the relationship between this letter and the letter from V. O. Kovalevsky, [12–17 August 1872].
2
CD’s letter to Kovalevsky has not been found; he evidently agreed to Kovalevsky’s suggestion that he mark passages in Wundt 1863 for their possible relevance to Expression (see letter from V. O. Kovalevsky, [12–17 August 1872] and n. 2).
3
Kovalevsky’s next recorded visit to Down was on 22 September 1872 (Emma Darwin’s diary (DAR 242)).
4
The numbers are train times between Charing Cross and Orpington stations.
