Augt. 14 1872

My dear Sir

I send you on, one of these sets of plates to see the figures in case the H. Coy. have not done so.1

I wrote yesterday very fully to your son, all about the Plates.2 We cant help ourselves now & had better make the best of the matter & we must put 12/- on the work instead of 10/6 or 14/- instead of 12/-

Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke

C. Darwin Esq

Each of the photographic plates for Expression, as well as the individual images on each plate, had to have a separately printed number (see letter to R. F. Cooke, 8 August [1872]). The plates were being printed by the Heliotype Company.
