Dr Sir
I am sorry I cannot at present give you my consent to a translation of my „Entwicklung &c" for Today, as I am bound by a previous engagement to another gentleman
As to my promise of an article for Today, that promise was given to Mr. Bax & as far as I know Mr. Bax is no longer one of the Eds. of Today
Yours faithf[?]
