To John Murray 5 February [1860]
Summary
Thanks JM for highly flattering extract from German newspaper.
Asks JM to take steps to reserve to CD right of translation in Germany.
If there is to be a new title-page to Journal of researches, it would be a "splendid puff" to put in "7th thousand", or if Colburn’s 1500 can be added: "8th thousand".
