To J. V. Carus 26 March 1877
Summary
Had found out his error [use of "cleistogenous" for "cleistogamous" in Cross and self-fertilisation] some timeago.
Is now writing on cleistogamic flowers [for Forms of flowers (1877)], and, with it, will have worked up all his old materials on plants. JVC will then have a rest from his labours of translation.
