To John Murray 9 February [1868]
Summary
Heartily glad for JM’s sake at sale [of Variation]. Thinks JM right to publish a smaller second edition, for "the public will soon find out that it is dull" – though scientifically valuable. The index is excellent. CD is "always greedy" for presentation copies.

To John Murray 25 February [1868]
Summary
Thanks JM for presentation copies [of Variation]. Sends directions and list.
Has been told positively that hostile review in Athenæum was by Berthold Seemann, to whom he once refused a testimonial.
On the whole, reviews have been very good.
