To J. V. Carus 27 January [1872]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
Jan. 27
My dear Sir
I send off today 3 more clean sheets; & I hope all will follow soon, as I have corrected every word to last page of Index.—2
I forget whether I mentioned before that I am having this edition stereotyped, so that I can never again make any more serious alterations.3
The little strength left to me shall be employed on new works.—
It would be worth your publisher’s consideration to stereotype the German Translation.—
My dear Sir | Yours very sincerely | Ch Darwin
