Nov. 25/80
My dear Sir
I can well believe that your labour must have been great. & everyone is bound to aid you in any way.
No I of F. Muller’s paper is in the August no for 1877
No II— is in the October number 1877.
Both these articles, I remember thinking excellent.1
I am not one of the Editors of Kosmos, only a kind of patron(!) & therefore cannot give permission; but when you write to Editors you can say that I have expressed a hope that permission would be granted; you acknowledging source of papers.2
Heartily wishing you success & in haste to catch first Post, I remain | Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
