Dear Professor,
I have translated your paper for the Cambridge volume, & trust you will be pleased when it appears. I have made little change in the title – „The Influence of Darwin in Anthropology” – or anywhere else. It was not necessary at all. Your right hand has not lost its cunning – in the old English phrase.
I am correcting my translation of Bölsche’s book for a popular || edition we are bringing out. Of late years I have worked hard at zoology & with the microscope, & find much to correct in my earlier translations. I shall be very pleased to see May’s book, but it is difficult to get publishers to take up books just now. The market is bad.
I hope you will come to England next summer & let us get up a dinner in London. Our people want to see you. There is no scientific man in the world who is so well known all over England now.
Well, I send you all greetings for the New Year, & trust it will bring a happy rest with your retirement.
Yours truly
Joseph McCabe
