Report on sales of Origin, Insectivorous plants, and Climbing plants.
Greatly pleased at sale [of Climbing plants].
Points out a discrepancy in their records of copies of Origin printed.
500 more copies of Insectivorous plants should last forever.
Sends cheques in payment on three of CD’s books.
Proposes to print 500 copies of Insectivorous plants before distributing the type.
Asks to be informed whenever more copies of his books are printed, as there may be errors to correct.
Asks how many copies of Origin have been printed "from the first". The number will be "a good puff" when listed in the new edition of Variation.
JM has printed 16250 copies of Origin since 1859.
