There will be no objection to the French translation or difficulty about woodcuts of Orchids.
Has not yet received the information about Müller’s Facts and arguments for Darwin.

Estimates cost of F. Müller’s Facts and arguments for Darwin at £86 for 750 copies, less than £10 extra for 1000.
Sends statement [missing] of cost and proceeds of publishing Facts and arguments for Darwin at 6s. Asks whether CD agrees to this price.
Book [Facts and arguments for Darwin] is being bound; it is probably too late to alter lettering.
Confirms a request by CD that Murray’s supply electrotypes of Orchids at most reasonable possible price.
RC has sent a copy of the new [5th] edition of Origin.
Electrotypes [of Orchids] have been sent to Bologna.
Thanks for [July 1869] issue of Quarterly Review.
Assumes Murray will give permission for French translation of Orchids; asks that stereotypes of woodcuts be supplied at cost, since if expensive the work will not appear.
Thinks it best for Murray’s to engrave the "Monkeys", etc. for themselves.
