 What you say about Pangenesis quite satisfies me, and is as 

 much perhaps as any one is justified in saying. I have read

 this was an error.

 did not appear until 1869 :]

 translation of ' Fiir Darwin,' * that I have ventured to arrange 

 for a translation. Engelmann has very liberally offered me

 that on the title my name is more the printers after seeing one proof. 3 *
