To V. O. Kovalevsky 26 March [1867]

But if Origin has not yet been translated into Russian, CD thinks it would be a better book to undertake.

To V. O. Kovalevsky 3 June [1867]
Summary
Sends a sheet of proofs. Will hold four others until he hears from VOK, because of expensive postage. Thinks illustrating Russian translation [of Variation] with woodcuts from A. E. Brehm’s work [Illustrirtes Thierleben, 4 vols. (1864–7)] is an excellent idea.

The woodcuts will do admirably [for Variation].
