My dear Häckel,
It is very kind of you to send me your new & improved edition of ‘Anthropogenie’ &c’ & I thank you heartily. I sent you lately a copy of my new book on cross-fertilisation, as I thought that you would like to possess the complete series of my works. But I knew that the present one would not || interest you; & do not waste your time by acknowledging its receipt.
