Sep 11. 79
Dear Sir,
I have dispatched this morning all the remaining sheets of the little life of Dr Darwin. Dr Krause intends in the German edition to add a good many pages from Miss Sewards ‘Life’; and these have not appeared to me worth publishing in England,1 but if you bring out a french translation they would be worth Monsieur Barbier’s consideration2
Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
