From R. F. Cooke   13 January 1871

My dear Sir

I may as well reply to your letter at once.¹ Enclosed you have a List of the various periodicals to which we propose to send your new work to²—those that are ticked thus ✓ & if there are any more which you like to add we will include them.

We are only printing at first 2500 Copies.

Your own copies shall have cut edges & we will issue, the book both with cut & uncut edges & all white.

M^r. Murray³ thinks if he allows the author gratis at the rate of 10 Copies in each 1000, it will be fair & equitable.

The retail price of the work will be 24/-, at least we sold it, at that rate & we do trust that yr corrections have not been so vast, that we shall have to enhance it.

We disposed of the copies at our Annual Sale at 16/- 25 as 24 & all your copies shall be charged you at this rate.⁴

We will forthwith put the binder upon Vol 1. I will write to Mr Dallas, but fear he will delay us.⁵

I am | Faithfully Yours | Rob^t. Cooke

Cha^s. Darwin Esq
