From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Murray
Date:
4 Sept 1879
Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms. 42152 ff. 358–9)
Summary:

Though not sanguine about sale [of Erasmus Darwin] it seems fair that if over 1500 copies are sold he should receive two-thirds profit. If JM does not agree, he would prefer publishing on commission or asking Macmillan if they will give him larger profits.
