To V. O. Kovalevsky 17 May [1871]

Interested in W. Hepworth Dixon’s Free Russia, but does not know "whether he is to be trusted".
VOK’s hard work in palaeontology will prepare him for future original investigations.

To V. O. Kovalevsky 2 June [1871]
Summary
Thanks VOK for sending F. Körte’s book [Die Streich-, Zug- oder Wander-Heuschrecke (1828)]. The passage CD wrote about [see 7735] must occur in the second edition. If VOK ever comes upon the 1829 edition, it would be of use to him.
Agrees that the Versailles army has been savagely brutal [in siege of Paris], but thinks the "Communists [Communards] have made themselves everlastingly infamous".
