Dear Sir

We duely received your kind letter of Sept. 18^th., as well as another letter adressed to Col. Moulinié, to be printed at the beginning of our translation of the Origin of Species.¹ We return with book post the heliotype Plates of your new work “on the Expression of the Emotions”, as Mess Murray had the kindness to send another set of it.²

Mess Murray accepted in the same time our proposal for supplying us with 500 copies of the Heliotype Plates and the wood-cuts, so that we could begin translating if we had in hands the sheets already printed. We ask to-day Mess Murray to send them at an early conveniance.

It is important to find now a good and capable translator, as M Moulinié is to ill to be thought of.—³ We will not make a choice without your consent.

We remain dear Sir | yours’ most obediently | C Reinwald & Co
