To Ernst Krause 5 January 1880
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
Jan 5./80
My dear Sir,
There have been a good many reviews of the Life, & all without exception favourable. Some chiefly about your part, some about mine & some equally about both parts.1 I enclose one rather good review. The others, excepting the Pall Mall which was sent you, did not seem to me worth sending. I assume that you saw the review in the Times which was chiefly about your part. There is an article in the Journal of Science just published which I have not yet read.2 I am surprised that a new edition has not been called for. I hope the German edition will soon appear.3
My dear Sir, | Yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin
