DCP-LETT-8034

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Robert Francis Cooke; John Murray
Date:
30 Oct 1871
Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms. 42152 ff. 232–3)
Summary:

Has completed corrections for Origin [6th ed.], but has received no proofs. Hopes it will be published without delay.

Has been reflecting on Murray’s suggestion to stereotype the Origin. Sees advantage in that it will make him stop additions and changes in style. Inquires whether each separate sheet is stereotyped and can be altered.

Asks whether any copies of C. Wright’s pamphlet have been sold.
