Dear Sir

I am much pleased at the honour which you propose to do me by translating my Journal of researches in Swedish.² Your name is more than sufficient guarantee for your performing the work faithfully. There are a few woodcuts in the book, & if you think it worth while, I feel sure that the publisher M^r. Murray would at my request supply you with stereotypes at very little or nothing beyond their cost price.³

With much respect, | I beg leave to remain | Dear Sir, yours faithfully | Charles Darwin
