Dear Sir
Will you be so good as to inform Mr Duncker that I have given the right of Translation of my next book, with all profit from such right, to Profr. Victor Carus of Leipzig; so that Mr. D, if, he thinks fit, may communicate direct with him.— I imagine that he will publish with Herr Koch of Stuttgart.— My book will not be ready for a considerable time.2
Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
