Octr. 17 1877

My dear Sir

We have received the enclosed “Telegram” which I imagine is in answer to one you sent.?1

No remittance has been sent, but the Swedish Consul, tells us that Hjalmar Linnstróm is a most respectable & honorable person & we may safely rely upon him & that he himself will be answerable that the amount £47.10.0 be paid.2

So I presume we may send the Electrotypes & the 500 Heliotypes?

Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke

Chas. Darwin Esq

1
The telegram has not been found. It was prompted by CD’s letter to Hjalmar Linnström, 7 October 1877.
2
Linnström intended to publish a Swedish edition of Expression; the sum was to cover the costs of the illustrations (see letter to Hjalmar Linnström, 7 October 1877). The Swedish consul in London was Carl Edward Wilhelm Piper.
