To Ernst Krause 16 June [1879]1
I will keep your letter & attend to your suggestions as far as possible— I can judge of nothing till I have seen the translation of your M.S. & you have seen my Proof-sheets. There is plenty of time, as Mr Dallas translates slowly—2 My publisher, Murray, generally objects strongly to bring out any book before the beginning of November—3 Pray excuse brevity, as I have many letters to write
