My dear Sir

We shall require to work off another edition of “Origin of Species” to supply our anticipated order at our Trade dinner next month, as we have under 200 copies remaining.1

Have you any corrections for Messrs. Clowes?2

Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke

Chas. Darwin Esq

1
CD’s publisher, John Murray, held a sale dinner each November for the book trade (J. Murray 1908–9, p. 540). CD made no further changes to the text of Origin after the 1876 printing of the sixth edition (Freeman 1977, p. 87).
2
William Clowes & Sons were Murray’s printers.
