To C.-F. Reinwald 29 October 1879
Dear Sir
I hear from Dr. Krause that there has been some misunderstanding with the German Publisher about the translation of his part of the life of Dr Darwin.1 In my opinion it would not be worth while to translate into French my Preliminary notice, without Dr. Krause’s account of the scientific works. of Dr. D. Dr Krause has kindly agreed at my request that you shd publish the whole volume, on the same terms on which you have published translations of my other books; & I will arrange with Dr. Krause about any profit which you may be able to hand over to me.—2 I have sent this letter through Dr. Krause, that he may read it, & that you may be assured that there is no misunderstanding on my part.
I remain Dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | Ch Darwin
