If every copy [of Movement in plants] is sold at 15s, CD will lose about £50.
Six hundred copies of Movement in plants were wanted [at Murray’s annual sale] – a good start.
Movement in plants needs only the index. Distressed by CD’s dissatisfaction with the indexer.
Eight hundred copies have now been sold. Type will be kept up.
Decision on printing additional copies should await reviews.
Murray’s must reprint Descent. Does CD want to make any corrections in the plates?
Five hundred more copies of Movement in plants must be printed immediately. Asks CD to send any corrections to printer.
