My dear Sir

Have you arranged anything with Messrs. Appletons about your new work?1 The Index we are having made by the same hand as did the last & your written instructions have gone to be attended to & Messrs. Clowes send on the sheets.2

Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke

Chas. Darwin Esq

In his letter to Cooke of 16 July 1880, CD said that he had told his US publisher, D. Appleton & Co., that he did not know whether it was worth their while to reprint Movement in plants from the stereotyped plates of the English edition.

CD had asked for an indexer to be found for Movement in plants and had sent some instructions for making the index; see letter to John Murray, 10 July 1880. The indexer was Matilda Smith; William Clowes & Sons were printing Movement in plants.
