From V. O. Kovalevsky 5 October 1870
Sandown
5 Octob. 1870.
Dear Sir
I communicated the wish You expressed to put in Your new work something about the vertebrate character of the Ascidian larva, to my brother and some days ago he sent me a letter to You with some particulars about this question.1 Till then he has not received Your work on the Cirripedia and so could not thank You for it.2 I return in three days to London and after a week more we both intent to go to Leipsic for the winter; I hope to see You once more before my departure.3
Yours | Very truly | W. Kovalevsky
