JM offers a note for 400 guineas as author’s payment on sale of 1250 copies of 2d issue of Variation.
Payment of 400 guineas [Variation royalties] delights CD.
JM sends note for £420.
Asks CD to use his good offices on behalf of William Clowes’s son who is up for election to Athenaeum.
Acknowledges receipt of bill for £420.
Will try to attend Athenaeum meeting to help elect Clowes’s son.
American publishers will not wait for woodcuts, so asks Murray to have a copy of the reprint sent to Asa Gray. Will call soon to talk about Für Darwin and to hear about sale of latest edition of Origin
