Dear Professor Haeckel,

If you have not yet heard you will probably in a day or two hear, from M^r. King respecting the translation of your forthcoming Third Edition. You will, I think, find his proposals satisfactory.

He has written to Professor Michael Foster of Cambridge respecting a translator, & Prof. Foster's letter, which I saw yesterday, shows that he is not unlikely to obtain a fit one.

Has any definite arrangement been || entered into between Brockhaus & your assistant respecting the translation of First Principles?

I am,

Truly yours,

Herbert Spencer
