Dear Sir

I hear from D^r. Krause that there has been some misunderstanding with the German Publisher about the translation of his part of the life of D^r Darwin.¹ In my opinion it would not be worth while to translate into French my Preliminary notice, without D^r. Krause’s account of the scientific works. of D^r. D.   D^r Krause has kindly agreed at my request that you sh^d publish the whole volume, on the same terms on which you have published translations of my other books; & I will arrange with D^r. Krause about any profit which you may be able to hand over to me.—² I have sent this letter through D^r. Krause, that he may read it, & that you may be assured that there is no misunderstanding on my part.

I remain Dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | Ch Darwin
