My dear George

Stanley Jevon’s letter has pleased me more than anything which I have read for many a long day.— Please say to D^r. J. that I am very much obliged for information & have ordered D^r [Cohens’s] book, so will give him no further trouble.—² I think on the whole you you had better say nothing about profit— if there sh^d. be any, you might then say it was the Translator’s due.—³

I am very sorry to hear about sickness.— I am convinced that the craving for something tasting strong will wear away.— I do not in the least fear that if there is anything to be made out by your method with respect to viscous fluids, you will succeed— such energy as yours almost always succeeds.—⁴ Look at the success of your cousin papers, for these certainly have been highly successful.⁵

Yours affect | ⁠⟨⁠C. Darwin⁠⟩⁠
