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.

JDH reports that his son Willie [William Henslow Hooker], currently with his tutor James Digues La Touche, is ill & suffering with haemorrhoids. JDH is busy re-landscaping [Sir James William] Colvile's grounds at Craigflower House. He mentions removing poplars & 'used up evergreens'.
