Dear Sir

I send by this Post some sheets of second Edit. with all the few passages marked (except the errata already printed), & will you be so kind as to give any of these corrections, as errata, which may seem to you of any importance.—²

You will be able to insert most of the corrections & additions in Vol. 2.—

Will you kindly attend to addition given at p. 396 Vol I. & insert it, as indicated, as a footnote to Vol. 2.—³

I should esteem it a kindness if you would inform me as soon as you have corrected all the sheets, a few days before the publication of my Book.—

With sincere respect & thanks for the honour which you have done me by undertaking this Translation, I remain | Dear Sir | Yours faithfully & obliged | Ch. Darwin
