My dear Sir.
I do not know whether you will ever receive this, but I write to thank you very much for the 50 Copies—a most magnificent supply.
I guessed why I did not hear from you & ventured to send a copy to M. Aglave.—2
Several Germans have asked permission to translate the little article & I have assumed that you would not object. if they thought it worth while.3
Yours sincerely & obliged | Ch Darwin.
