To R. F. Cooke   20 October 1880

My dear Sir

I am much obliged for your note & kind regard for my interests.¹ As M. Reinwald felt doubt about paying for Translator & bringing out my book, I promised him that he sh^d. have cliches at cost price, so I must keep my word & please let him have them at this price, viz 10£—, if he finally decides to have translation.—²

As my Books sell well in Germany it will, from what you say, be fair to charge Herr Koch 25£;; but he must not know that I have let the Frenchman have them for 10£.—³

The volume had better be in green to match the others & lettered

“The

Movements

of

Plants

———

Darwin”

I hope that the index-maker has completed his job.—⁴

Will you be so good as to send copies to whatever Reviews you think desirable: I w^d. suggest Nature, Gardener’s Chronicle, & Journal of Botany.⁵

Before long I will send a list of copies to be distributed in England, & will despatch myself those for abroad.—⁶

My dear Sir | Yours faithfully & obliged | Ch. Darwin
