To J. V. Carus 8 May [1873]
Summary
John Murray has announced his next book [Cross and self-fertilisation] without CD’s knowledge. It is only half-written. JVC will hear when it is published and will decide whether it is worth translating. It will be dry, but, CD believes, of value.
Has read an account of JVC’s Scottish lectures.
Invites JVC to Down.
