Dear Sir
I duely received with many thanks your favor of Nov. 2d with the Errata for your book on Earthworms, the translation of which is in the ha⟨n⟩ds of the printers.1
Prof. Heckel’s translation of your Movement of Plants is on the point of being issued. Prof Heckel intends to give a preface to it, which I shall accept only if you have no objection to it.2
I hand you herewith the proof sheets of it and beg to let me know your intention.
Our young french authors need to be nearly controlled!
Waiting for your kind reply | I am, dear Sir, | yours most respectfully | C Reinwald
To Ch. Darwin Esq Down
