National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms. 42152 ff. 336–7)
Summary:

Sorry to hear price of 15s [for Insectivorous plants]. Asks that JM consider 14s. Fears small sale at 15s. It is his fault – he never can help making his books too big.

Charles Robert Darwin

Robert Francis Cooke; John Murray
Date:

Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms. 42152 ff. 334–5)
Summary:

Mentioned to Appleton only that stereotypes [for Insectivorous plants] would be provided for "a little above cost price". Glad the price of the book will be 14s. He likes making money, but cares more for wider distribution of his books. Is uneasy about sale of Insectivorous plants.
