Statement of stock on hand of CD’s works.
Expression, curiously, at a dead stand-still.
JM expresses his willingness to publish a new edition of Variation whenever CD revises it.
Descent [2d ed.] has not sold much since the annual sale – 1300 copies altogether.
Sends CD a cheque for 68 guineas – his two-thirds share of profit on sale of 2000 copies of 2d edition of Descent.
JM expresses willingness to publish CD’s Climbing plants [2d ed.].
JM proposes to print 1000 copies [of Insectivorous plants].
JM agrees to raise number of first printing [of Insectivorous plants] to 1250 if CD will wait for his share of profits until sales reach 750 or 800.
