From J. V. Carus   10 December 1872

Leipzig

Decbr 10th. 1872

My dear Sir,

Herr Koch lets me know that he wishes to print a new edition of the “Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication” in the beginning of next year1   Before I begin to revise the first edition and to make it ready, I take the liberty to ask you, if you have anything to add or to alter or if you have some particular wish with which I of course should be happy to comply.

Believe me, | My dear Sir, | Yours ever sincerely | J. Victor Carus

Eduard Friedrich Koch of the firm E. Schweizerbart’sche Verlagshandlung was the German publisher of Variation, translated from the English by Carus (Carus trans. 1868). The second German edition was published in 1873 (Carus trans. 1873).
