To J. V. Carus 22 January 1877
Summary
Thanks JVC for errata [in Cross and self-fertilisation]
and especially for interesting and amusing notes on expression. Will use them if a new edition [of Expression] is needed, but Murray has printed too many copies of first edition.

To J. V. Carus 4 March 1877
Summary
Apologises for sending wrong Cross and self-fertilisation erratum. The error is on p. 191 (where "cross-seeds" appears, it should read "self-fertilised"). There is no error on p. 275.

To J. V. Carus 26 March 1877
Summary
Had found out his error [use of "cleistogenous" for "cleistogamous" in Cross and self-fertilisation] some timeago.
Is now writing on cleistogamic flowers [for Forms of flowers (1877)], and, with it, will have worked up all his old materials on plants. JVC will then have a rest from his labours of translation.

To J. V. Carus 17 June [1877]
Summary
Forms of flowers will soon be published and is not a long book.
Does not suppose he will publish any more books, "though perhaps a few more papers". He "cannot endure being idle, but Heaven knows whether I am capable of any more good work".
Erratum JVC sent was due to a printer’s error after he had seen last proofs.
