I hope exceedingly that you have found no opportunity of having Code
translated into German, but at the same time that you have got
hold of somebody who will translate it well into Germa French.
It certainly it is in this language it must come here. It is cle the
King of Russia also likes the latter language better than German.
With respect to German I should advise that you write to Evelyn
at Hambourg (unless you have any better means) to beg him to give
you some account of the abilities of the different people who
are employed in and who get their living by translating the
English books as fast as they come out into German.
That you then pitch according to his recommendation upon the
one of these translator's the most for qualified for such a work,
and give furnish him with the sheets as they are printed before
the work is published. by this means you avoid its falling
into the hands of a miserable translator. Translators themselves
though are not probably the first movers with respect
to the translations, it is a bookseller who engages a translator
to work for him. If so it must be a German bookseller
to whom by Evelyn's recommendation you must apply, such a
bookseller who has the best translators in his service.
