Glad to hear Dallas will do index of Descent, but he needs keeping up to the mark. Agrees to a Dutch edition.
He agrees with his family that binding of Variation looks much better than Origin.
Asks JM to report the number of copies he has printed of Naturalist’s Voyage [Journal of researches].
Sends table of sales [of Journal of researches]. 2000 copies sold since 1860.
Descent has gone to press for 2500 copies.
