My dear Sir

As you wished for sheets as quickly as possible, I sent off this morning the 2d & 3d sheets; but these have been somewhat corrected & when I receive 2d Revise I will send them;2 but you can translate them, if you like, as the last corrections will hardly take you 14 of an hour.— As soon as I know cost of stereotype & Heliotypes, I will write to you again.—3

My dear Sir | Yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin
