Metadata and summaries of all known letters (c. 15,000) appear in Ɛpsilon, and the full texts of available letters can also be searched, with links to the full texts.
Two thousand more copies of Origin to be printed. Has CD any corrections to make?
Type for Cross and self-fertilisation, Orchids, and Forms of flowers must now be broken up. If CD does not object, Murray will have stereotypes made of the three works. Asks for any corrections CD may want embodied.
Asks exact number of copies of recent printing of Origin.
Approves stereotyping Orchids,
but fears he cannot approve of stereotyping Cross and self-fertilisation and Forms of flowers. It is too soon for the latter, and he is too busy to correct the former.
Answers CD’s query about number of copies of Origin recently printed. Order to print 2000, rather than 1000, was given after JM’s annual sales showed demand was keeping up.
Cross and self-fertilisation will be stereotyped after CD’s corrections have been made.
Printer will be asked to keep type of Forms of flowers standing, for the present.
