Nov. 27th 1881
Dear Sir
I see no objection to Prof. Heckel’s Preface, which may be of use to the Book.1
If not too late I send by this Post a few additions to my book on Worms.— The Passages in the Proof-sheets are all marked, so that the small additions & corrections will cause little trouble to the Translator.—2 I have placed in same packet the proof of Prof. Heckels Preface.— I shd. much like to have copies of the Translation of the “Power of Movement”, sent to Count Saporta,. Ch. Martins & Naudin3
Dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
