To Raphael Meldola 31 October [1877]1
From Mr. C. Darwin Down, Beckenham.
Thanks.— The 2 vols have arrived all safe.—2 I hope that you may succeed in finding a Publisher.— The proof-drawing is very curious.3
C. D
I suppose that the proof is not to be returned, but if you want it send me a card.—
Oct. 31.
Footnotes
The year is established by the relationship between this letter and the letter to Raphael Meldola, 22 October [1877].
Meldola was probably returning CD’s volumes of August Weismann’s essays (Weismann 1875 and 1876), which he hoped to translate into English (see letter from Raphael Meldola, 20 October 1877 and n. 2).
The proof-drawing has not been identified.
Summary
Hopes RM finds a publisher [for his translation of Weismann’s Studien].
