M to A. Möller, 12 July 1883 seems to be the earliest suggestion of a Portuguese edition, presumably with an eye on the Brazilian market, a consideration that is made explicit in M to A. Möller, 18 May 1885. Henriques had agreed to do the translation by 1889; see M to J. Henriques, 3 May 1889 (in this edition as 89-05-03b). M asked about progress in a letter to Henriques of 29 January 1895. For some species the text of the translation includes information that first appeared in B88.13.02.
Letter not found. This fragment is taken from the preface to B05.13.01. It is dated to 1896 on the basis of its contents and the comment ‘pouco tempo antes de moorer, escreviame o seguinte’ [‘shortly before his death he wrote to me as follows’] that introduces the quotation.
