My dear Mr. Meldola
Your best plan will be to write to “Dr. Ernst Krause Friedenstrasse. 10. II. Berlin.”
He is one of Editors, with whom I have corresponded.—2
You can say that I sent you the Journal & called your attention to the paper; but I cannot take the liberty of advising the supply of cliches.—3 He is a very obliging man. Had you not better ask for permission to translate, saying that source will be fully acknowledged.—
F. Müllers view of the mutual protection was quite new to me4
Yours sincerely | Ch Darwin
