To J. V. Carus 4 May 1869
Summary
Discusses changes in 5th edition of Origin owing to new evidence. CD now places more value on action of external conditions; thinks lapse of time [required for development of species] not so great as some geologists have thought, and single variations [saltations] of even less importance compared with individual differences.

From J. V. Carus 3 June 1869
Summary
Will use new English edition [5th, of Origin] in preparing for [4th] German edition. Bronn’s translation of Origin in the title as "Entstehung" is not so precise as "Ursprung" would be. The publisher does not object to changing the title, but JVC is doubtful, because the Origin is so well known in Germany as Entstehung. Asks CD’s opinion.

Summary
Sends new edition of the Origin. Has made some corrections.
Has been led into dreadful blunder on p. 75 by erroneous calculations of a mathematical friend.
Opposes change of Entstehung into Ursprung [in title] even if more correct. It would make readers think it is a new book.
